STARLIGHT

He stands at the mountain’s peak - highest of all those surrounding him. They stretch away to fill the world with their shadowed valleys, glistening crowns. The first snowfall carpets the soft plants beneath his feet. Glistens on his nude skin. Sparkles with starlight in his hair. About him the darkened land spreads to all ends of the earth, unrelenting peaks marching away in search of relieving daylight. Above, heaven’s mantle embraces him. Her gleaming cloak of jewelled light giving comfort to his mind, nourishment to his soul.

He raises his arms, returning the embrace. At one with the Mother of All the Worlds. Starlight beams upon him. His eyes close, knowing he is loved, and loves in return.
