Tuesday Night & Wednesday Morning

A/N : I wrote this about three weeks ago so the time in this post obviously won't be accurate. Enjoy.

I never really understood why birds were said to sing. I'd always listen to them but all I heard were birds randomly chirping cause... well they're birds. They only really sung in cartoons or some sappy romance movie. I never understood until this very morning. It's 09:18 am and I'd just woken up about five minutes ago. It's not everyday I'm actually glad to wake up but this very morning gave me no choice. Now before I tell you about my morning I think it's only right I tell you about last night. And it's not every night it's not every night I shut my eyes hoping they open again.

After a productive day, it ended with the events of a wonderful soccer match i played, my body could wait for nothing less than to feel my bed under it. My tired muscles ached and begged for hot bath and the welcoming hug of my blankies. Now every second week or third week of the month I get to watch the moon from my bed while I fall asleep. As you know, I have an undying obsession for the moon, the sun and even the stars too. So in each month I get to have the moon caress my cheeks for a whole weeks until it's not visible from my window sight. At time, as I lay on my bed, it'd replace my orbs and wipe away my tears. Other times it'd catch every drop until there was none left. But my favourites were the days when the moon sang to me or told me stories about the galaxies, stories about every star she's met, myths about planets outside of this galaxy, our galaxy, and she'd tell me stories about her and the sun as well. I wish i could tell you all about them for they're far too beautiful of stories to keep but I couldn't begin to tell them as well as well as the moon does. And how I wish you could hear her captivating voice when she sing, sings until the stars twinkle and turn.

You could be curious as to why Aaliyah is so devoted and given to this. Well i do have answers for you. Mentioning a few, I haven't been able to see the stars or the moon all my life like majority of the world has and that's on bad eyesight. I never really saw what it looked like from the sky but instead I'd seen it on pictures often for about 15 to 16 years of my life. That was until i got a prescription and of course, BOOM, why didn't ya'll motherf***ers tell me how beautiful it is. From seeing a blur light to seeing the soft, luring sadness of a beautiful moon. And the way the stars twinkle?! Ugh, kill me now. It's like watching the universe blink.

So last night in a floating ball in the middle of nowhere, between planets, the sun and the moon, somewhere by the milky way, trillions of kilometres away from trillions of planets and possible life, last night I was in my bed. I was in my bed with each and every inch of my body listening to the sweet voice of the moon. It sang so euphoniously to my soul and the stars listened too. And this morning you ask? Oh what a fucking beautiful morning. Except for the part where i woke up with the sun trying to permanently blind me damn.

How clear and blue the sky is today. It's like while we were asleep and the world was silent someone swept away the stars and washed off the dark sky. A clean blue sky that felt like we'd all fall into, any second. How I'd love to fall into that serene baby blue. I don't envy the clouds but I've never been so glad to not see them hovering over us for the sake of a clear sky. How lonely the sun is today. Now I want to ask you a question. If the moon has the stars and the sun has the clouds, what/who do you have? What/who twinkles when you shine or brings life to your world when you're not feeling it?

Anyways, today is the first I heard the birds sing. I saw two flying across the sky in sync, a melodic tune carrying the morning in it's bliss. it seemed the day itself was more excited to live than any of us were. The way the sun dances in the sky, shining brighter into our hearts. It danced to the tune of the chanting birds, stretching it's light a few inches further round the earth. And i couldn't help but think how someone out there was smiling to their very edges, some were having the best day of their lives, some found their soul mates and some found themselves. This morning felt like a celebration, it felt like a song and it felt like God was smiling down on us, proud of His creation. So I lived it. Even if it was just for the day, I lived.
