Rare Fiction

Better than fiction,
a moment capturing stars.
The fantasy’s real. 
I am capable of awe,
unfortunately it’s rare.

Dear Melani, Congrats I love how you hold the tension between fantasy and reality, the way a single instant can feel both imagined and absolutely true. A beautiful, distilled piece, and so deserving of POTD. Congratulations, my friend. Winter Blessings, Melani, Daniel
