His Eyes

As a child, I often wished I could float up into the sky and leave Earth just for a while to explore the universe. I spent most of my free time day-dreaming about the glorious things I would come across in my travels; planets so huge they would leave me gasping in wonder, golden stars, enigmatic moons and I would take comfort from them because they gave me a unique quality; something that set me apart from the rest of my peers.

In my minds eye the things I saw were mine and would be too difficult for the rest of the world to attempt to comprehend.

As a child, I often wished I could float up into the sky and leave Earth just for a while to explore the universe. However, I never imagined in all my years of life that a time would come where I would be free to do it all for real, but that it would be through no choice of my own and it would be permanent.

Oh the irony.
