Last night I slept in the loft on the old double mattress. I love it up there. I can just lie on the mattress, gazing out of the skylight at the stars and the moon, so mysterious, so far away. If I squint a little I can almost imagine that I am up there, with the heavenly bodies.
But last night I could see only clouds out of the skylight, blanketing the sky, and I felt lonely.
Then I realised that I could still see the light from the moon and stars and I knew that they were still up there, flinging out their beautiful, white light; and I didn't feel so alone anymore because I knew that they were waiting for me to fall asleep and join them in their winter ball in the sky...

Your attic sounds lovely, and I'm happy you found the Moon, he is always such a comfort to me, I'm glad he is for you as well.

oh, your blog is so beautiful dear.
ReplyDeleteand that sounds lovely, i love the feeling that the stars are there, watching upon you ♥
How beautiful. A little sanctuary. Very Oliver Twist. =P Still, it does sound beautiful. I love the Moon - who doesn't?
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about the stars watching over you is that they only come out at night (duh) and manage to wash away all the troubles of the daytime. :D
