Little Astronaut

Over clouds on a moonlit night, a flock of paper birds take flight.

The stars are ready

The night is clear

Through eons of Nyx

They quickly appear

All crowd to witness

The flight of paper things

____

Paper wings in moonlit skies

How Boldly

They soar over heaven

Wings reflected beneath them.

So Lonely

The space between stars

so few take the leap

Diving into the night

Chasing paper dreams

Woefully

Reaching through the stars

yet never making it

However

This is the way some think

Thus they drown in heaven

never reaching the stars

I like to describe depression as a series of conversations, sweet-talking me towards my own demise.

The paper wings represent a hope that is frail and mortal. A mortal hope will die a mortal death; it is the way of mortal things. Immortal things never die, and thus hope in immortal things becomes immortal.

Diving into the night, seduced by Shinigami. At times placing hope in a destination, only death seems to know the way towards.

Beneath the depths of its power and with a soft voice, it reveals the way to heaven, "Breathe deeply."

Depression is not a good friend; it lies more than it speaks the truth. Sometimes I wonder, "Who is Depression? Is he the bastard son of Hope? Am I afflicted with a hope disorder?" and the silence keeps me guessing. I have theories for days, but they are just theories.

Anyhow, thanks for reading whatever this is. Have a good day, y'all.

False Awakenings

Art is courtesy of my friend, Shellie Summers. Thank you, Shellie! Lately, my dreams have been filled with werewolves, vampires, necromancers, and other monsters. The fights are full of magic and are incredible to behold. However, I have not learned anything of value from them. Unless, of course, one is looking to find a way to keep a vampire from killing you. I don't think knowing that using light magic as a possible weapon instead of dark magic (also called filth) would be of any use to anyone in real life. Thats why today I have decided to post about a dream I had some time ago that I think back to every once in a while. ”Some time ago” is short for "I can't remember when, but I know it was likely this month or last month." I have forgotten most of this dream, but I do remember the most significant part to me. In the sky was a gigantic sphere; inside that sphere was another Earth that I was constructing with awesome power. However, as the new world grew bigger, o...

Preferred Prey

I shall call him "Prey." As he walked, he found himself upon an elevated plain where another were-cat appeared that I shall call "Hunter." Hunter saw Prey, and both men responded to each other by shifting from human form into a semi-human form with long tails and spotted fur, like cheetahs or jaguars. A 70mph chase ensued across the plateau with Hunter in hot pursuit. Because both were running at the same speed, this was not a chase that would end quickly. Both men had limited stamina, just like actual big cats. Eventually, the chase came to an end when their energy ran out. Hunter proposed a truce because they found themselves surrounded by trees (bear territory) and it would be safer if they stuck together. Both agreed to this plan, and they began journeying out of the fores...

Mirror Folk

Photo by Casey Horner on Unsplash October 24 : Do you wanna see something cool. Go into your closet and under a shelf (preferably empty and across from the door), push against the wall, and then past it. Push forward until you find yourself facing another shelf, and you're almost there. The resonate hum of glass will signal the success of ones crossing the threshold between our worlds. Should you choose to keep going, you will find yourself facing the closet door that you entered, step through it and see for yourself that which lies beyond. Firstly, one might notice that everything looks the same. They that live here will look just like those they imitate. There is one flaw in their trick, they are polar opposite to those they imitate. Be sure to stop by on a rainy day to marvel at the sight of rainbows that bend in unnatural ways and in an order reversed from those beyond this world of glass. Lastly, you must never forget; Don't go alone Don't go at night You might hav...
