The Universe Is My Playground

As I sit on the smooth cool surface of my favorite star which faces the moon, my feet dangle playfully off the edge. Far off in the distance, I notice a shimmering light growing larger and bolder with every passing heartbeat. Leaning forward and arching my back I lunge and, land on the back-end of the glowing luminescent tail of a gigantic fast-moving beast. Hurdling through the infinite space the monstrous ball of light devours whatever is in its path as I yelp in amusement. I am fascinated beyond wonderment over the sheer genius and talent of this rare enigma. My hands start to sting with numbness from holding onto the ginormous boulder as it punches a powerful blow while making its entry into the blue planet, which is nearly half of its size. Streams of orange auras dance before my eyes as it casts a shadow of haze over the vast blue skies. Suddenly I see fragments and pieces break off from underneath me diminishing one by one and vaporizing in the air until nothing is left. I’m left suspended in mid-air as my body drifts in the hot wind coming to the realization that my wild ride has come to an ending. My destination has been reached as my feet skate over the white smooth surface of the clouds. I know without certainty that I am in paradise and the universe is my playground.
