Comet ~Scarlett-Ash
I was like ice and fire,i made hard and fast decisions.
I never knew where i was heading,until suddenly, i was there.
I had traveled far and wide, only stopping for a moment,
just to catch a glimpse of the beauty beneath me.
I had seen it all. Everything.
I had seen life begin and end.
I had seen explosions of colour and the blur of white as shooting stars passed by.
I don't remember where i had been born, or where my home really was.
All i knew is that time stretches on forever :
words, smiles and laughter melding together ,as one.
And it was beautiful... all of it.
In the end, i guess, the place to call home is where you feel the most loved, the most accepted.
So every a hundred and forty years or so, i would return home,
where people would laugh and try to capture my beauty.
Children had been born beneath my journey,
Love lost, lives withered and died.
I was just a ball of snow and ice, a blaze of ice blue.
I had one path, and i roamed space for the rest of time.
I was a comet, an image of beauty, a nameless wonder.
But every a hundred and forty years i would return home and belong.
I'd be admired and praised.
I was unique.
I was infinite...
...I was free....
