Thank you! I was having some pretty bad writer’s block the night I wrote this, but I was ultimately pretty happy with how it turned out!

Sometimes we’re hardest on ourselves as writers! That didn’t come through at all for me reading it, which is impressive!

Love this one, Bradley! You had me at "Prometheus." 🤍🔥

(Before that, but doesn't that sound cool?)

Whoa....

Could it be that it once,

was a part of something bigger?

Burning on a celestial sphere.

Did it taste stardust,

before joining me here?

I love this stanza!!!!

This is wonderful. You reach for the cosmic while staying grounded in the now, with so much emotion. A poets heart.

Thank you so much, Maryellen! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I was feeling writer’s block last night, but when this piece was all said and done I was actually pretty happy with it.

Amazing what happens when you let go and let the writer brain take the wheel, haha. I had a candle lit nearby and that little flame inspired this piece.
