Darkness.
You can feel that you are in motion but cannot see where you are heading,
just that you are moving in one direction,
your wide eyes attempt to peer into the depth but see nothing.
You look forward in the direction you are heading and see something break on the horizon
A series of small lights
You notice their reflections, dancing on the horizon like candles on a pond.
As you rapidly approach the lights begin to rise.
The lights seem to be apart of large silhouettes carving their way into the sky
Their size is unreal.
You estimate that you still have a while before you actually reach them.
The towers of lights continue to grow further as the lights begin to fall.
They begin to lift over the horizon, some completely independent.
The lights race along the silhouettes down back towards the horizon.
The sky and the plane seem to fold in on each other as the reflections climb the horizon.
Lights continue to spawn at the tops of the towers and drop from them back towards the horizon.
A city of falling lights.
The lights become so common that they begin to look like a shower.
A storm of light.
You smile with optimism and realize that if you just keep pushing forward, you will reach the lights.
Just keep pushing forward.
You will reach the city of falling lights.
You will reach your goal.

A City of Falling Lights
A small abstract poem inspired by a dream I recently had.
