Celestial Gardens(The Last Star Trilogy #2)

The still water soon had ripples in it as I threw a pebble.

The pain was flaring my skin and the water soon started to bubble.

I felt tears roll down my cheeks for the sound of silence was deafening

The silence making me want to scream and I hoped I was dreaming

No path to guide me,

No stars to follow.

The only sound of me crying,

And my heart felt hollow

The cuts and bruises were too much to bear

The world around me was spinning

And the streaks of dirt in my hair.

And the light never dimming

The light so bright,

It felt like there were gazillion fires

I thought I might go blind

For I wasn’t lying-

I wasn’t a liar.

Then, the blackout came out of nowhere

Engulfing me like a tunnel of darkness,

Wrapping me like a blanket

I was so scared,

That even if the rocks left scars and scratches on my arms

I acted as though I didn’t care

When I was about to kick and thrash,

I suddenly stopped.

For the sight I was seeing made me gasp
