Close
an astronaut in space floats freely
free, free from contact with anything but his spacesuit
this was his dream, he had made it to space
though alone, and this he did not consider
he wanted to be free from the chains of the Earth
free from the chains of the people who held him down
he broke free from all the chains, all attachment
everything and everyone was but a distant doubtful reality
still, he felt bound to something, something he couldn't quite describe
something that was always there, obscured by the Earth and everything on it
what was it? what could it be? he wondered, confused by invisible attachment
it was the only thing that never can be detached, nor extinguished
his last remaining connection was not tangible, it transcends space and time
it is the one constant in the universe that can neither be created nor destroyed
it can only bloom or wilt
it can only thrive or decay
it can only prosper or degenerate
but it CAN NOT die
it does not know death
it
it was love
love, of all and everything and everyone in every single way
it is the bond that ties everything together
it unites to make us one
each and every soul
each and everything
each and every event
love cried out in his heart, needing, wishing for it to be shared
for its purpose is to be spread, shared, and given
he never knew it was even there until he escaped to the void
in the cold, black, bottomless infinite void
he found light
