I lay quietly, watching shadows play across the wall. Hidden in a small haven. I focus in on the dancing leaves, closing down my vision of the peripheral messes, piles and clutters.
Time plays backwards and forwards. Fast and slow, here and there my mind wanders. Exploring, remembering, chasing down what I know to be mine.
Transitioning.
We came here looking for I don't know what. And found fire, stars, iridescent blue peacock feathers. And the tales of what we were to become. What we are made of and where we will return. We are stardust*.
And we dance and play around each other, gravity holding us in orbit. I hear the half remembered sounds of laughter and frustration. I feel the pull so strong, so infinitely binding I won't ever fall away, won't ever spin out into space.
Deep in the darkness there is more and more of all that makes us and binds us. All that we will ever need.
* Every atom in your body is billions of years old. Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe and a major feature of your body, was produced in the big bang 13.7bn years ago. Heavier atoms such as carbon and oxygen were forged in stars between 7bn and 12bn years ago, and blasted across space when the stars exploded. Some of these explosions were so powerful that they also produced the elements heavier than iron, which stars can't construct. This means that the components of your body are truly ancient: you are stardust. - http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/jan/27/20-human-body-facts-science
