Soulful Journey of Shooting Stars

They soar through space-scapes of divine milky whorls and blue halos; incandescent dandelion wishes blown across nocturnal fields - illuminating the imaginative expanse between eternities of cosmic dark ages and light years are fiery pixies burning holes through obscurity with passionate gold dust gilding awe - souls arising fulfill their destinies Susan Ashley August 13, 2019
