Skies Open
Admiral Bob
Thanks to gurdonark for reminding me of something that was a lamp light for me this year.

20 years ago, we saw them, after one of the hardest years of our lives.
Shimmering, dancing across the sky, like happy sprites leaping and dancing from star to star. They’d contract and stretch, red would become green, and the weight of this heavy year fell from our shoulders.
Once again, these are the hardest days I’ve known. Something inside of me, eating me alive. And once again, the lights came out to dance before us, sparkling veils of green falling like curtains above the water. The dancing reds and greens of so long ago, come home to play with us again, and for a brief time, take the weight away from the world far below.
