So I jumped aboard a boat that was to set sail towards a certain paradise point up in outter space…

Enchanting ride.

I sailed through the stars and listened to the waves.

They told me many things.

We met on the northern deck. We conversed about the mysteries of the galaxies, a pair of strangers, both practically stowaways, on a beautiful voyage…

It was hard to tell how much time was passing. I deemed it irrelevant.

Somewhere along the way, it became clear to me that we weren’t going along for the ride back. We’d both seen, on the cruise through the cosmos, just how brightly dazzling certain parts of that unknown darkness could really be.

The waves gently assured me that everything would be okay. I closed my eyes and let their intimate harmony soothe me.

I smiled.
