One day I woke and looked around but everything was different. Unfamiliar shapes loomed in the morning sun. Had everything around me changed as I dreamed of someplace better? Rising slowly from my bed, I cried as memories like raindrops fell through the shadows of my mind. To my left an open window showed me…

I ran through a golden field, the grass beneath my feet soft as satin, sunlight on my face, a warm and gentle breeze lightly stroking my hair. I heard a laugh like little bells and reached out toward the light that shone from everywhere. I stopped, breathless. Before me was an open door, a staircase…

The rain falls and a light shines through the mist. One star burning bright, banishing the shadows. The raindrops tell of better days – different days. Infinite moments, disappearing into the earth.

After the rain of evening the oceans cry. Subtly does the water stir the sand, the air fresh, cold, but ripe with the smell of tears. Drowning sailors cannot see beyond the maiden’s eye. When every bluish wave retreats back to its bed, whispers in the deep rise to greet the air. Unseen, unheard, except…
