My hair cascades down my shoulders slowly. Light. Unending expanses of ethereal light spreads across the canvas of the sky. My hair floating out in long, silken strands in the winds of heaven. Flowing over the memory of night until the sky slowly is free of the darkness that previously envelopes the earth, and changes to reflect the oceans beneath.I spread my arms out and close my eyes, the warmth of my soul emitting as I birth the gift of sunlight to the universe. I continue to rise in the expanse of the sky. I am the sun.

It's easy to loose your thoughts this way. The wind blowing through your hair, mirroring the movements of the grass in the expanse of the meadow. The sun giving its last kiss to the earth before night blankets the sky. I've always liked this time of day. Everyday since I can remember I've sat like this, in the old elm tree at the edge of the meadow, reveling in the last golden moments the day gives. But this day is different. From my perch in trees; I feel like for once, the red orb of the setting sun is too close to the horizon. The sky is darkening much too quickly. It must be a storm approaching, and as I quickly start my descent back down to earth, the night sky seems to adopt the same idea, because before my bare feet hit the cool, dark soil beneath me, the sky is suddenly dark. Shaken out of my tree by an unseen force, I stumble to my feet. As my eyes struggle to adapt to the sudden darkness, my heart beats wildly as I look to the sky. The stars slowly begin to appear. Gazing up, I see the clearest night I have seen in a long while, not since the mild days of autumn. I sit back against my tree once more, getting glimpses of the twinkling stars, like glistening diamonds thrown across the canvas of the night sky. But one seems brighter than the rest, I decide, as I peer through the tall meadow grass before me, seeing the most brilliant star shining on the very edge of the horizon. I reach for my notebook, carefully tucked into my chest pocket, to add the star to the map of the sky I have ever so meticulously created the last few years of my life. Just as I begin to record what I see, the star begins to move smoothly across the prairie. Puzzled,I shake my head and tuck my notebook back inside my pocket. It must be a firefly, I decide, as I begin to make my way home. Suddenly, I'm taken aback by the size of this light that seemingly is coming closer...and closer.

The first coherent thought I have, is cold. I can feel cold, damp substance underneath my skin, as I slowly raise my body off the ground. "Wait" I say to myself. "The ground!?" I scramble to my feet, standing wobbly for the first time, on the Earth.
