A CLEAR NIGHT

It was a clear crisp night. The stars were so bright I felt as if I could reach my hand out to touch them. As I reached for the stars I felt as if they began to envelope me with their light. It was like they came down from the sky so high above &amp; swept me off my feet. I could feel the warmth of their light begin to swirl around me. They started at my feet and slowly danced around me moving up my body like diamond dust that shimmered &amp; sparkled as it continued to surround me.<br />
<br />
I was being lifted so high into the midnight ski. Higher &amp; higher I was lifted until I was in a new world of majestic images that surrounded me with awesome wonder. As I tried to get a glimpse of these strange ghostly images before me, they seem to be swaying back &amp; fourth like a gentle breeze would blow a field of wheat. They seem to be shining like the stares that were now surrounding us all.<br />
<br />
In deep space now, I could see the vast universe before me. The planets seemed to be so close to me I thought I would soon be able to walk about them exploring this new dimension of my life that had been handed to me.<br />
<br />
How very strange this is. How simple life seems to be here. No cares or worries to contend with. Just a soft enveloping light.<br />
<br />
I could hear music in the background. Could it be the gentle sound of a piano playing or maybe a soft sound of a harp being strummed? It seemed to fill the air with soft gentle angelic tones that lulled me to sleep.<br />
<br />
I closed my eyes to bask in the glory of this new state of mind. Oh what a precious gift of peace, of new found hope, of a dream that I never want to awaken from.<br />
<br />
I take a deep cleansing breath &amp; the air is sweet to my lungs. I can taste it on my tongue. I can feel the moisture on my lips from the dew that seemed to be in the air. Almost like a morning due that gently caresses my body like a soft feather being ever so gently brushed against my skin.<br />
<br />
This precious moment in time is like nothing I&#39;ve ever experienced. If only for a brief moment in time, I never want to leave this place.<br />
<br />
Off in the distance I see a sail boat with large powerful red sails. It is drifting on the star dust which looks like a gentle ocean wave. The wave seems to be caring it to a place of no true destination, yet it sails forward reaching out for the stars, reaching out for the ghostly images that seem to be floating so peacefully about it. How curious this is. If only I could be carried to it by my diamond dust that has swept me up &amp; carried me to this distant universe.<br />
<br />
My heart is warmed by the images before me. I don&#39;t want to close my eyes for fear I will awaken from this dream of my heart.<br />
<br />
&quot;Take me sweet star light, take me to the ends of the universe never to release me. Sweep me away my precious diamond dust. Enrapture me with your purity. Make love to me with your sweet caress. Hold me tight &amp; never let me go.&quot;<br />

The central figure is swept away (?from the chamber in which the heroine was imprisoned in a previous post?) The purity imagery conveyed in the stars and their warmth was an interesting play on the old "Coldness of Space" theme.
Can both posts be leading to a confluence of plots?
Clearly you are conveying strong clear images which is the first basis for being an effective story teller.
Now, can you weave them into a fabric that tells a story either directly or metaphoically?

This comment is really pompous but this is interesting, so I'm letting my real bombasitic nature have at it. No offense - you have some talents here.

Rlionheart, wow... thank you for your comment. I am fairly new at writing and certainly have a lot to learn. I love your insight and had never thought about weaving the stories together. Interesting idea. I have several other stories waiting to be posted. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about them.

As for you my dear10 inches, no I was not on drives. Just intoxicated by the evening. Thank you for your commen.

Very sexual images, Christal. Freud would love the boat with red sails.
