Dust Amongst The Stars
Silena was the galaxy and I was a simple comet. She was my darkness, my oblivion, but was she beautiful. She was incomprehensible, unfathomable. One couldn't quite understand her for she was far too complex, too intricate to accurately form words to describe her. Words couldn't express her being. She was beyond pretty words that held little value.
I was just a cold being passing by. One among many. Nothing more. And I knew in my soul that I was less.
She was always there, but sometimes, you would look past her. She could be invisible even though you were staring right at her. That was the kind of person she was. She was silent, ethereal, brilliant, and infinite. She was everything and nothing. But when you finally notice her presence… Oh it was incredible. Your stomach drops and your heart pounds in your ears, too loudly for it to be natural. Your breath would hitch and when you gazed into those eyes… Your body whimpers, sending shivers down your spine.
Her eyes were impressively clear, twinkling and dazzling in their molten orbs, like a beacon of hope for all the lost souls of the world. They were captivating, hypnotising even. And it was near impossible to tear your gaze from them. Because after all, if you noticed her existence, you would forever think of her. You would never rest, never sleep, and your dreams will only be enveloped by her very being.
Her smiles told you that she knew all of humanity's secrets, her silent laughs told you of the wonders you would never imagine to experience. She had mindless, passing thoughts that only the true philosophers could attempt to dream of, but it was nothing compared to when she truly thought. She could create life with each gentle breath and could end galaxies with even less.
Silena was the universe, while I remained a lonely comet. She was so full of life. Her eyes held the stars and her body held the souls. She was sacred, untouchable but I was in awe. Because in actuality, she was not full of life. She was life. She was the essence of life. She was life and so much more. But she would remain cold, distant, and infinite.
It would be then, you realise to yourself, that you should never have spent so long staring blankly at your feet. It would be a sudden realisation and you knew… you just knew you should have spent more time gazing upwards, drinking in the stardust that danced on her cheeks, and contemplate her existence. About how she exists. Ponder upon her existence and understand that she is timeless. She will not wither nor fade, but only illuminate, glistening in the darkness.
I couldn't understand Silena. I could never bring myself to fully appreciate her complexity. I was afraid that I would get lost along the way, spiralling into the unknown. She was everything and nothing, everywhere and nowhere, beginning and the end. But there is something you should know, and it was that the universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.
She didn't need to make sense to you.
She didn't make sense to anyone but herself, but even then, I doubted she knew just how transcendent she truly was.
I was only a flash of light, a brief moment in time that barely caught her attention. I wasn't sure how or why she saw me. I was nothing compared to her, yet she noticed me. I so desperately wanted her to be mine and hold her attention.
I wanted to be the reason she smiled. I wanted to be the reason she laughed and the reason she sung. But I knew it was hopeless because I knew, everyone knew, that it could never be. She was the reason I lived. I lived for her, and only her.
But in the end, it never mattered.
Silena is my everything but I was just a comet, fading from her sight.
