Starry night absorbs all consciousness

Vertical hilltop stands me on air

Music from below falls unheard upon deafened ears

My body begs to stand but my mind forbids it

Head spinning I stumble to the bottom

Feet sink knee-high into solid ground

Thousands of dazed faces stare without looking

Instigated panic smashes me down through the earth

Green fingers grapple to hold me under

Recovering from the blow

The hand of the crisp mountain breeze pulls me to my feet

Colors of the artificial rainbow dance and flicker

Upon the backdrop of the night sky

Synthetic explosions from above leave me in awe

Is this pleasant or terrifying?

Home is not far—only a galaxy away

On the edge and yet still at peace

Tomorrow reality returns on winding backroads

But tonight the impossible will be possible.
