30 Minutes
I sat on the side end of my car. The music throbbed from my earphones as I listened to the rhythm of Ballade Pour Adeline, though its tune may be calming, I felt a surge of disappointment. All I could do was sit on the edge and stare at the black sky. It was so dark, so useless to me for I only needed light unearthed by the lamp posts that sat on every corner. As I hummed to the slow beats of the mantra, I effortlessly tried to eye the single blinking dot that stood out against the gloomy eve. It shone proudly, but its pride meant nothing to me. Every so often, a lamp post would come by and out shine the poor object. I imagined it dying out of existence, seeing my ease to its power. Then everything went pitch dark, the sky would seem so unhappy about the death of its only sunshine in the night. I continued to stare at it as it opened my eyes to the dominance of such a small entity.
Time passed slowly as it gave way to me. Every second of my unmoving state brought understanding to my mind. Looking at the sky you would see the darkness swallowing everything it can seep. Then after deep concentration you will see bodies of small, twinkling lights emerge from the folio of the heavens. More and more will come until you see a pool of Christmas lights hanging on every side of the bare Christmas tree. No moon is in sight but the stars will keep you company as they hung like frozen crystals in a mine. Oh at this grateful night I see the vast open space full of light.
I know I'm in love...
