Cosmic Tapestry

They get tangled when crocheting. Much like hair, they weave dreams. It changes shape, changes form, when touched with barehand, it crumbles, triggers a storm. They say, 2.537 million light-years away, is a galaxy like our own. The tiny fiber, there too sway, weaves supple fabric, alas it is made of stone. When I look up at the sky, I swear I see. A slender yet, long thread flying up high, inter-galaxies, it is free. They say, 2.537 million light-years away, is a world, neither young nor old. From nebulae to supernovas vast, these cotton strands, secrets hold. Connecting all from this world to the other, the fortune changes. Enlightenment is unfurled. Every fibre lives, every fibre dies. Every stitch questions Who am I? They say, 2.537 million light-years away, there is a land so divine. Where gods walk the earth, humans collude with the stars and disrupt the time. Prompt: Cotton Strands

Hello Manya. Lovely imagery in this cosmic trip... and you've done a wonderful job with a difficult prompt. It all sounds fantastical - but also seems to ring true in a holistic way. Good stuff.....Nic
