spit, mixed with dirt – muddy words flow
I thoroughly enjoyed the magic of exploring the stars in this piece.
I once left my body,
Off into the night,
Not into a dream,
Nor into my mind,
But careening into the sky,
Imitating a cosmonaut,
I found myself in an ethereal state,
Riding the coat tails of a comet,
Like a wandering gentleman,
Swept right up,
On a cruise through the cosmos,
Surfing through the silver,
I saw stars die in colour,
And be born from the void,
Attempted slow dances with meteors,
Finger painted with nebulae,
Excursions upon the edges of black holes,
A stellar vacation,
Despite the Earths assertions,
Of sheer importance,
Declarations of eminence,
I could barely glimpse it in the black,
It became an afterthought,
Just another speck.

“A stellar vacation”
Clever.
One of those pieces that can easily remind the reader not to assume a level of importance that transcends time lol we are all small when the universe is involved.
You put it elegantly though 💚 as always.
