Life(a new piece I just completed)
Somewhere deep within the cold, lonely stone corridors, the last clock signals midnight. I slowly pass between the billowing dark red curtains, walking as if on the clouds and gazing upon the moonlit skies. My longing is not for those who were left behind, but to be among the breathtaking stars who gaze back to us with their bright, fading, or long dying lights. This castle keeps me chained to the long abandoned coast and a long cultrualy dead planet. Some of those stars I place my eyes upon may have met their deaths eons agin but their last breath of light is now only coming to me, tomorrow morning as my eyes rest, it may be gone forever, lost to the eons of the universe, much like so many friendships I have known. So many like ships passing on storm tossed seas, lasting only a brief moment of time but the lessons I've acquired from them will last me to my dying day. Gazing out to the skies, I often find myself wondering if those who are now gone, passing into their lives, ever think of the memories we had created. When they are alone, do they look to the sky or the moon and think what may have been? Or like me do they only have the thought for a second and then realise it back to time and continue forward. Those who impact our lives and are now somewhere else always seem to leave these single moments in which we can not forget them, though me forget their names, but that single moment is with us for eternity. It's almost a comical situation, but it never pays to dwell in the past, for what? To make ourself feel less guilty for leaving someone behind because we needed to progress forward and they were an anchor keeping us grounded to people and places that would keep us imprisoned somewhere we can't amd should not be? Or so maybe one if we somehow see them again we can catch up on a park bench as the leaves fall, only for us to become upset inside because we can not continue being around their energy, but we remain silent and laughing because we refuse to hurt them again? What positive outcome could there be if we continue to allow these people access to our hearts and minds again when we knew there was a honest specific reason we let them go and we continued to better our lives and spirit and we became what we had always, even if in secret, dreamed to be, free
