Favorite Quote:
"The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Once there was a skylight

It led to a yawning sky, 

Revealing flecks of luminous light as the time stretched on


Night, a watchful companion,

To the girl gazing at the moon 

Her dreams greeted the farthest star in their journey to the unknown 


Thoughts lost to the fuzzy corners of memory floated through the skylight,

Carried by the breeze, peaceful in its tranquility

 

The girl would revel in the rare beauty of the night, 

keeping her company until the dew shone on her face,

Waiting till the sky fell again to become anew 


Somewhere along her journey in the day, she lost the key to the skylight

And now the world is forever closed to her


Leaving only the lingering sense of having lost something dear to her
