Challenge
Put a smile back on my faces, my darlings. Invite laughter back into my days, one write at a time. Create a poem or story of any length with an element of nature as the central character. At the heart of this tree's, cloud's, tree frog's (your story, your chose of anything under the sun or beyond it) story or poem, a profound epiphany is revealed. Please tag me @PhynneBelle in the comments. #lifereveals

Asteria
He loved Cassiopeia.
She was resilient.
Cassy was so crazy about astronomy and the legends. She loved how they weren't perfect and how the endings weren't normal to us.
They would sit in the bed of his truck in the middle of the track field at night. And they would look up at the stars and rewrite the endings off the legends.
He would bring a picnic.
She would bring the laughter.
But when she was gone,
All he could think about was the beauty in it all.
He still did the same routine,
But without her.
His head was stuck in the clouds and there was no way of coming down.
And all he could hear was her laughter when he looked up at the stars.
