super nova

Oh bright star, take me under your sweet spell. envelope me in your warm inviting glow, soothe me with the soft hum of your light. grant me a peace that would calm a dozen relentless rainstorms. enchant me with your mystical powers. i surrender to your will as the night does to day.

oh bright star, are you real or merely a figment of my unwieldy imagination? do you exist in the distance, a being on which i can cast my dreams? or have you long gone from that faraway place where my eyes rest transfixed? a luminous shadow of what once was, a star lost ages ago, a super nova casting memories about like celestial debris?

oh bright star...

great line i read today

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.

- Charles Dickens (Great Expectations)
