A short story.
Once when it was yesterday I had a name that meant something. I walked backwards into the edge of the darkess, thinking only how i couldn't understand it sometimes. I wondered what it meant to be alive and shook the thought from my hand as i reached for a ladder. It took me up so far that i was down so low and I couldn't figure out where I had been or how to get anywhere but here. "If only I hadn't stopped.", I thought. So I started again.
It surprised me, what happened next, when i heard that the sun was rising. What was I supposed to do? After all, no one had ever handed me a gun before. Still, I set aside my doubts and worries as I crawled with the snakes along the ceiling of the moon. At this rate, it wouldn't take me long until I was sleeping again.
Unfortunately, things did not go as I planned, because part of the end was actually the beginning and I came to a door that I thought I'd never seen before. The only logical thing to do was to walk the other way, so I did.. and that's when I saw her, or at least I think I did. I can't remember her name now, but she danced like the sand, after I threw it in the wind. Why couldn't I be like her, living here but never there. Without form, but full of substance. I guess liquid doesn't drop that quickly, otherwise it'd never have a chance to see what it came from. That got me thinking. Wasn't I looking for where I came from? I suppose that one can only assume i must have dropped too fast, but if you told me before.. I wouldn't have believed you.
I believe you now.. It wasn't my fault that I didn't meet you earlier. Alas, I digress. Now, up to this point I hadn't met the Queen of the Cosmos, so I was more or less at a loss for what my brain could do. It was pure luck, then, that when I fell through that spiral breeze I landed in her crown of stars. I was afraid at first. After all, I did just drop out of nowhere (or was it somewhere else? I can never seem to remember anymore.) on to the plate of the universe. However, she apparently felt what I couldn't and unlocked more than I never knew I didn't know. That's why i'm telling you this. You see, life is just like that sometimes. You just never know when the light is going to pierce your heart and split you open, but it happens. That's why I always carry a camera.
I wish I could tell you more, but it just so happens that I never found out where I'd come from. the path I took is just a figment of dream that I had yet to imagine, and i'm still waiting to find out who i am.
