.. Except us.
My past held me softly in place, the echo of the future pushed me on. The path I had walked left heavy gashes in the Earth's skin, some down to the bone. Now I tread lightly, my soft trail a broken whisper. The lights were on in expectance of the night, but darkness never fell. Dream-time cast a shadow over my mind and I slipped carelessly into The Beyond.
A starless sky swept me into its arms, now the cities were my sky. The yellow glow from office buildings and path lamps, the stars I would wish upon. All the noise of the day had come to an end, the sky held me lower so I could hear the Earth breathing. It barely made a sound.
As everything fell away I realised why I was there, to never know anything and to always hope for more.
