Beauty

I looked out at the sky and marvelled at its beauty.

Everything around me became an unseen marvel of the world.

I saw constellations embedded into the sky,

permanently sketched there forever.

I looked out at the sky and marvelled at its beauty.

I noticed how the moon has been the same

since great lovers roamed the Earth.

I noticed the way time became stagnant.

The way nothing around me mattered.

I looked out at the sky and marvelled at its beauty,

and finally understood what Shakespeare had been saying.

I wasn’t scared anymore.

Instead,

I embraced oblivion and fell into the void.

Not praying I wouldn’t get hurt,

Instead,

wishing, I can pick myself back up when I do.
