Empyrean
Blending with the
sun, as night
falls, so too do
I align with the
stars. Celestial
bodies gathered in
the firmament,
no single light to
outshine a-
nother. Here, our
makers cast their
fires, flickering
punctures in a black
void. Whether by
fate or circum-
stance, the end matters
little to the stories
forged on paths foot-
worn over rises and
falls. Such is the
dance of life. They
burn like lighthouses on
far-off shores, carrying
us swiftly to shallow
waters, as if to say,
"You are safe, please
come home."

These last lines really resonated with me .
An interesting take on the endless and seemingly unreachable extent of the universe and the mysteries that inhabit it . Coupled with the sort of comfort that comes with knowing they are unobtainable . The knowledge of not knowing .
Lots to be taken away but that's just where my mind started to wander .
Great write .

I find that I enjoy not knowing everything. Life is a lot more interesting when it's full of surprises :) Thank you very much for the insight, Elrond!
