In a world with no tolerance,
We do what we shouldn’t have to
The starlight distracts Adriell from the ongoings of the meadow. There are horses all around him and yet all he hears is the chirp of the cricket nearby. There is an entirely different world up there, cloaked in velvet darkness where the stars always shine. On some nights Adriell wonders if he can fly so high as to reach them. That is a dream of his; his heart lies with the stars and one day he wants to join them even if just for the moment. Even if to simply blanket himself in the beauty before returning to earth.
Ever the dreamer, Adriell is.
A slow breath escapes him when he blinks and glances to the moon. It's partially obscured by a single cloud, giving it a mystic aura that illuminates a small area of the meadow. He takes this moment to actually see what surrounds him. With another slow blink Adriell turns his attention to what lingers in the pooled porcelain light. There's another horse grazing, a fox lingering at the treeline, and a mouse scurrying across a fallen log. What he does not see is the boy that comes from behind him. It's a voice that brings Adriell to realize that he isn't truly alone, that someone has found him amidst the crowd. He looks over his shoulder then to see the colt staring up at the night sky with awe. For a long moment silence permeates the air and he simply roves his eyes across the young boy. A smile, genuine and kind, stretches across his lips. "Do the stars not call to everyone?" The idea baffles him. How could anyone resist the beautiful starlight that kisses them to sleep every night?
"I'm happy I do not enjoy them alone," because how enjoyable can life be when experienced alone.
