Dear Siren of the Storms,

The stars are amazing up here. They are so bright and so much. I've traveled to the middle of a galaxy a few million light years from here. I stand amongst clouds of dust and gas years across and suns wide. (Or maybe the other way around) I'm standing still for just a moment before leaving off again. Because I have seen from a distant time ago, a nebula here. Or at least this way. Still young, still just children, but still so amazing. I'll flit in between newly shining stars as they start to move in the dust. I'll breathe as if this dust were the freshest air I have ever had. And I'll keep a little bit of it in the nooks and cracks of myself, so that I can remember just how it felt to have stardust and starlight running in my veins.

By now I'm off again, lost to the multitude of stars that echo in such a vast sky. I'll go back to that nebula I'm sure. The dust and light mix so well in my veins, and I want to see how the stars will do when they grow just a bit more.

Time has become so lost to me now. Like things are standing still whilst I rush across the Universe gasping in breath and moving every which way I can go. (newsudaar) I'm smiling as wide as my smile will go, and humming a cheery tune under my breath. Perhaps one day it will become a lullaby sung to young stars from the old ones who heard it from a passing starlike being who never could stay still against her massive cousins.

I want to give my thanks to the ancient fire that birthed my cousins, especially one that could be a Phoenix if things go right. I want to give such a fire stardust that links back to the very beginning of it all. I want to give it a little piece of me to remember me by.

I want to give a certain siren a meteor shower that looks like falling stars. I want her to see all the things I witness daily in the depths of space. I want to give her the tail of a comet so that she can see how beautiful she is. And then I'd give her a storm, to cherish her as it moved everything around her as she danced with ease in it.

I'd like to give a dragon I know something nice as well. She has so much and almost all of what she needs in that Library of hers. But I'm not too worried, I'm sure to find something that will captivate her. I've already got my eye on some stardust at the edge of the Universe that glows with a particular luminosity and is as light as air. (Or even lighter.)

My head is clouded by the dust between the stars. And my eyes shine with an inner light every time I look o the sky. My blood in my veins has remains of stars and the Universe. If I fell, as a youngling star, right here and right now, I can see why I would choose to do such a thing. To leave my home in the sky for a while to live here on Earth. Others might call me foolish, but this, right here and right now feeling free even though I am contained to this form... It makes things like the pain and hurt worth it.

I will stand here with my head against the sky and my feet sunken into the sea with star remaints swirling around me, and know that my heart will find its way home.

Signed,
A little star that decided to stay for awhile.

P.S. Do you think I gave you something beautiful?
Well, this is something. Yes, it is actually a letter/note I have written to a friend. And she graciously allowed me to post it up here. With a few minor tweaks, it was up and ready to go.

For those of you who don't know which would be almost everyone on this site, newsudaar is a word we came up with to represent all the directions. North East West South Up Down Around And 'round.

I'm not too sure what people will think of this. This kind of writing style can be a bit different. So, tell me what you think. Let me know the parts you liked. What was your favorite?
