The Boy Who Skips Stars on Lakes of Dreams

"He is spun of magic and light and the dreams of gods."

The Boy Who Skips Stars on Lakes of Dreams
Lisandra Soto

With one look he gives me everything I have ever wanted, A shiver down my spine

A stroke on my hand, a brush of the lips, a laugh

His voice is warm like golden sun unfolding every tight thing inside of me

He is spun of magic and light and the dreams of gods

The universe has a long memory but it has never seen someone like him

There was darkness then there where stars and when they exploded our particles came to earth It is from there that I know him,

it was from the beginning of time that I recognize his spirit, the stardust in me recognized the star dust in him

bound by a force more ancient than the world / in a million years, in a million lifetimesThat is my promise – that is what we all have - a promise, a hope, a journeys end

under new stars with new dreams

until the universe takes its last blinks

we are all part of a greater story listen lovers and fighters to another story

there was a good queen with a kingdom that she protected fiercely she was powerful in her own right and wise beyond her years

but love touches us all

there was a good king with his own kingdom that was his legacy a warrior bound to his land, to protect and love forevermore

the king and the queen fell in love but they had their own lands

so the universe decided that perhaps under new stars and another sun

time and love never correlate if only love was space

when you opened your eyes the sun got jealous because you can paint brightness in the world with your honey words and sugar intentions - the world should look out for you are brighter than the sun

the stars are jealous and they talked to fate so that we couldn’t be they knew we could raise the world in glory and then burn it down as long as we had each other

the constellations are jealous of your beauty and wish they could blink and look the way you do


more than that when you were born the jewels in the world stopped sparkling as brightly for you outshined them all

A catch in my breath, a lingering look, your hand on the small of my back

I look into your eyes and see so much that I had never seen before in any other pair The dreams of Alexander the great, the love and poetry of Fitzgerald, the intelligence of a genius

You took my hand and we could have conquered the world right there and then, if only you see mi amor the universe could not let such power exist on this earth so

You are gone now, but I trust, I look at the stars We are under the same ones Both part of a bigger story

I see our future, I see mitted hands in a red coat. Somewhere cold, unlike our homes; I see dark hair falling over my shoulders a black winter hat. My hand in your white mitted one with a light blue sweater and a smile matched with your brown neat fluffy hair

So I wish on every star in the sky one by one every night and I hope

That is all I can do, that is all anyone can do and I remember my promise.

In a million lifetimes - A promise, a hope, a journeys end

Greater stories will have their way, mi amor

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
