starry_sky pushpins Hawaii does have a killer sky, I must admit. one of the best observatories in the US? the world? well, one of the best...is in hawaii, on Mauna Kea. its no wonder. even the streetlamps have to be a certain shade/wattage(is that even a word?)/whatever in my town so as to have as little interference as possible with the night sky. So i am alone with the dark and pinpricks revealing pieces of heaven that lie behind the cool shade are glimmering madly for some attention. and the more I smile to the sky, the bigger the holes get and I am bits closer the heaven as they widen to encompass me in their world of lucid dreams. Slowly, the clouds unravel and i bite my lip, anticipation bleeding from my grin... the sky is magnificent and many words I do not know, infinite words and songs and miles and worlds and space stretching so far from me, yet i feel so secure under the brisk embrace of this dome, so close to heaven, so far away from everything else. 020603 ... erinicolejax I walked far away from the lights to the beach really te only Good place around here to look up I looked up to the millions of other stars.

And if we made it this far to this planet, this life, thi beach, this love, We would both also make it to where we were suposed to be. ANd I knew until I gave life up, you would be with me. In me with me just me. More constant than the starry sky. 020604 ... u24 wattage is a word. I wish I could see the starry_sky more often. But, alas, we don't have wattage restrictions on our lampposts, and therefore the sky is usually lit orange from streetlights. which are orange in the UK, but maybe not in America. but yes. they obscure the beauty of the night. which is rather inconsiderate of the designers, I mean, how would -they- feel if I decided to light up the day sky and obscure the sun, huh? huh? yeah. :P 040108 ... minnesota_chris skies are orange here too. Any place with half decent public transportation has an orange sky. 040108 what's it to you? who go blather from
