Weaving tears within Saturn's rings, she ventured far beyond Earth's realm past cordoned confines of heart and soul. Tumbled, as poor Alice, down the rabbit hole. Drifted, like an Autumn leaf blown from an elm She soared past distant planets, on paths lighted by effulgent moons, traveling on a journey of faith and trust and all the while she was gathering stardust before they mingled with sand on Mars' dunes. From mountain peaks of Jupiter, she bottled mist, to which she clings And all these amazing interstellar things were collected as caressive tokens for him, the one she had vowed to love more than life. From far reaches of dark galaxies she saved treasures from her jaunt. Magical items she hoped he would want. Brilliant beacons, slivers of Luna's moonbeams, silver facets she had captured as the sun dimmed. She wrapped the gifts she'd offer in layers of cosmic flecks from a comet. Tightly trussed with silken threads of time, knotted with celestial troves she would proffer to the only one she holds in such fervent affection. From his heart, she hoped would spill the love that had waned to a mere trickle. Then in abundance, once more it would flow like a wildly churning river, for she loves him still. To regain their passion, to the heavens she would go.

Lin, you raise the question regarding desire versus reluctance on different sides. I think it more painful to be the desirer...an experience many have had during the exploration of feelings of attraction. I appreciate how you bring so much feeling to this and I am smiling.

Merci, Duke. The desirer is in the position of wanting without receiving. The heart is treacherous.

She pretty much went to the depths of the universe to try rekindle his love Lin, and you bring the reader along on a magical journey even down the rabbit hole, I thought this one might end with a supernova, maybe it did, brilliant cheers David

;-) actually I did not but one sounds spectacular and the other an entryway to gloom and doom. Thank you, David.

Some supernovas leave a black hole behind in the implosion but I’m guessing you already knew that lol!

Maybe it will, David. I don't think she's returned, but for her sake I hope he's worth the trip. A supernova or a black hole next, if he's not. Thanks a bunch for your review of this one.

Hi Tom. 'Not even light years.' That's an appropriate poetic thought. ;-)
