Worlds to World

So many worlds partake in life. Dark, light, and the everlasting want to have a foot in each one.

But it can never be like that. They just float along waiting for you to travel into one. It is impossible to be in more than one place at a time.

So many people. So many relationships. So many conversations. So many thoughts. So many memories. So many lives. So many people.

It’s when we’re all together that one world is brightened and another becomes dormant. It’s in the moments when you don’t have to think about a person, but you actually get to see them, that no confusion or sadness erodes your heart. It’s when everyone is let in, that we are all together.

We may float in a sea of emotion, but we are all connected when we are together. Should we choose to allow the voyage of leaving our own globe and being in a more crowded one, we just might be able to envision a less confused and more peaceful, single world.

One world floating in the darkness with a light so bright everyone can see.
