Stratosphere Spirits by *Hyougen:iconHyougen:



Somewhere among the clouds,
confident in our strength,
we move.

Pale green next
to a broken mix
of golden brown and copper.

We breathe away
the life supply
and the magnetic field.

Our eyes,
blinded long ago,
still watch beyond oceans
and through the skin.

Hitchhiking
through the atmosphere,
we begin
our road trip around the planet.

Simple moments
drown in the sickly sweet syrup
of trembling sugar dreams
and candy floss romance.

Helpless breaths
escaping to space;
will they hear our whispers
on the ISS?

Stratosphere spirits, near-omnipotent and omnipresent creatures. Could've been atmosphere spirits but no, alliteration for the win.

Written during one of the kind of moments when you stare at nothing, think nothing and still aren't bored one bit. This came out. Not meant to be particularly deep or meaningful.

Not meant to be particularly meaningful? Your work is ALWAYS meaningful. In fact, in emerging from that stillness, that deep quiet which is the essence of life, this piece, and all the rest, are of the utmost meaning. As usual, your talent awes me. I'm honored to know you, to touch your soul through your writing. Thankyou.

What is our purpose? Why are we here?
These questions have been asked throughout time,
And as of yet, no one has the answer.
Why?
Because WE ARE THE ANSWER.

Nice. I like the idea of exploring the experience of spirits up in the high air. Kinda lost me on the second to last stanza, but it sounds great.
