stars still wonder

I have lots to update on (including my Hollywood adventure), but that will come later. For now, I have a poem! :)

~*~*~*~*~*~

Sometimes, the Sky condescends to the Earth
In a cascading cloak of whispering water,
Reminiscing the stories of cosmic and terrestrial histories,
Each bead of water recalling a century aeons past.

Sometimes, the Sky sings for the Earth a song:
A scintillating flash of dancing light--
A language humans have long since forgotten,
Left only to hear the Air's rumbling echoes.

The Earth sings back in her own language:
Green and Yellow, Blue and Red, Violet and Orange--
Longing for the overarching shimmer of Sky
With their untranslatable symphony.

And then--the Sky is only Sky again,
With words like cotton still dancing through the void.
The Earth comes slowly back to Earth,
And falls back into dreaming towards the Sky.

       ~ "Stormdance" by Laura Bang!

I actually wrote this last week before the rain came, but I have a policy of leaving fresh writings alone for a day or more to mull themselves over before I peer at them again. Right now it is pouring and earlier there was even a lone flash of lightning and growl of thunder, so it's the perfect day to be posting this.

Comments are love. ♥
