Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

To stalk these woods with such bitter emotion is naught but the fate of such a man as I, whose heart is but a hole awaiting its fill of love. The moon is my guide, my idol, my light. Without its rays I would be lost, forever wandering through the darkness of the universe, untouched and unchanged through time, deprived of all hopes and of all happiness and liberty. The moon's path, shone brilliantly in front of my hopeless eyes, is naught to me but an impression of your love, luring me ever further into its grasp. The endless night sky draws to it my eyes, and to its mysticism and its beauty I gaze, reminiscing of you and the comfort of your arms. Against the depths of space materializes an image of your face, and the more I gaze the more tears I feel trickling delicately down my cheeks. Across the sky then shoots a star, and triggers across my face, a smile. And as I close my eyes, I mutter softly to the sky a poem of a wish, of a promise and a love:

"To the moon I pray,
Upon this shooting star,
Under the light
Of space afar,
And of the moon I wish, on this night
Of desperation and despair,

To deliver me away, away from my sadness,
Away from my fears;
To enlighten the path I walk, and show me Truth
In my quest for your love;
And bring me to you, to my home, to the place that is Right
For me to return to.

If this request be at all implausible,
Then bring to my attention of such,
For without the comfort of returning Home,
There is no reason to persevere,
For Love is all that I live for, and without if I shouldn't live;
A promise I do vow to keep."

And as the shining star fades from the sky, my heart lifts up with hope and with glee. I gaze to the stars and cry an endless stream of tears; tears of hope and tears of love, smiling as wide as my muscles allow. The simple thought of you within my imagination and memory is sufficient to sprout upon my body wings and allow me to fly. My heart burns of longing, but also soothes with hope and with love, and as the tears fade from my eyes, a vision of your face is all I see before falling into unconsciousness, drifting into dreams of kissing you and being with you.

~ I love you, Tori. More than I can ever express.
