the comet

The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning.

 

He stood in magnificence of something so beautiful, and delicate, and fragile

He longed to have it and Love it the best way he can. That not knowing how long it will be there is not reason why the Love should be limited. That if ever it will be gone, he can thoroughly say that he Loved without any inhibition, or doubt, or fear. He just Loved.

 

he waited his entire life for it to come to him. for it to make him whole.

To make him happy.

To make all the words he weaved to be god damn worth it. 

To make him believe

 

 

It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning, Hope, and Faith, and unexplainable Joy.

 

There are many who couldn't understand, and sometimes he walked among them. He became a cynic, a non believer, became bitter, and numb. Sometimes he shunned away. Many times, he got tired.

 

But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him,

 

That his world would be whole again...

 

And his belief

 

in God

and Love

and Art

 

would be re-awakened in his heart.
