Blake's Fire

Fire, fire, burning bright,

weaving shadows from the night,

how did mortal man learn to

unlock the secrets within you?

From what darker, distant past

did we emerge, free at last,

once we'd learned to tame then free

thy flaming volatility?

For the magic of your light

gave us ways to fend off night,

steal back daylight, and explore

lands unseen by man before.

Fire, with your powers near,

we outshone our darkest fears

so that, in caves, we could start

making works of timeless art.

What hand or eye or mind was first

moved to quench deeper, inner thirsts;

to–with pigment, coal, or chalk–

imbue their Self upon the rock?

So, with these powers over dark,

one last thought was left to spark,

as we, through art, learned to see

our true immortality.

Downtown. Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the vexations or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner contentment and to renewed excitement in living. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.

“In truth, our aliveness depends on our ability to sustain wonder: to lengthen the moments we are truly uncovered, to be still and quiet till all the elements of the earth and all the secrets of the oceans stir the aspects of life waiting within us.”

Wonder is probably the only character to make Moon stop smiling lol. Something Forever Friends related, might be a future dialogue between the two. Though the majority of their talks will be more uh depressing maybe.

I do want Wonder to somehow be more understanding towards Sun and Moon, but also be a pain in the ass lol

I dunno, this is why I keep saying he is a complicated character to write and draw for (⁠ʘ⁠ᴗ⁠ʘ⁠✿⁠)

Reawakening; Upon A Spring Morning

Clouds drift

Sun lifts

Minds slumber, peacefully adrift

Birds sing

Bells ring

A quiet morning in the spring

Blue skies

Mind’s Eye

Takes it all in to clarify

What’s This

All This

Is there anything still to miss

These days

Always

Infinite things to do and say

But still

Dawn will

Bring back a grand new morning’s thrill

Day breaks

I wake

With brand new paths that I might take
