Ad Astra

This might be the only piece of writing I've ever done that I've been completely satisfied with. Re-reading this after months reminded me how much I love writing, and how much I missed it. One of the few things that inspired me to start this blog (hence, the name).

Written in late February 2010, after months of collected poetic blurbs in my phone's draft box.


just another day,
an egg yolk sun against
grey skies
sitting on the blue tide

leaning against the passenger seat window,
the one you always look through
the one I always dream through

chains shattering around me,
loosening myself to life
freeing myself to
love

flying to the sun
with no oxygen left

and if I could,

I would take
every atom
from every star
in every cosmos

and collide them together
into a brilliant light show
until I deplete the universe

just so you can have a little more sunshine.
