Sparkling,
lighter still,
as if I were not here,
but there,
away,
far away from this,
and closer to that,
the other side.

Its greener,
yes it must be,
it sparkles lighter,
crackles,
and jumps like some electric bolt,
is it closer or am I?

Should I move now
reach out grab it
I don’t
I know I should
but I don’t
its away now
far away
a spec
less than a spec
nothing

yet I still see it crackle
and feel it buzz
it is long gone however
and I return to the dark.

Let the moonlight paint your face, let the stars be your cloak...
