for you

[Sepia]

I have seen time bend space. I have seen the faces of the future bow down to and be annihilated by the creases of old. I have seen your make-up, I have seen your face right after you wake up, before you sit yourself down by one of those tables they always had in older movies or on a set, with a big clean mirror and shiny bulbs of light, giving you the sun you never see. I have seen you pick away leftovers from a night you don't remember.

I have seen you sitting there, contemplating what mask you should wear and you also go for the sepia coloured china, still glinting and still beautiful but worn with age and wisdom. I have seen in your eyes that you know that for some of the people out there, what mask one puts on isn't important for it's the weakest defense and they see you, like I see you.

You are a tragic story, one of those that comes forth in the light or from beneath dusty shelves, gathering from the people that always seem to walk through the room but never stop in it. You shine on the big screen and you look beautiful at home, you're one of the stories that no one wants to see end.

For a moment, I almost think you existed, like you weren't part of my imagination but that you were real but there is no reality where you go, you go far beyond the dimensions known to man. You bend time as you bend space, with a flick of the wrist you are the most capable of all magicians on any stage. You are a goddess with divine powers and what you want to see you see and even though your place is not part of the same physical plane as ours, we watch you with reverence, we see you as they used to see gods. We bow our heads to you and we yield with pleasure in our hearts.

We know you are not a god, we know that you are merely human because we see your mistakes and we judge you for no man has ever been kind to his god. Every man has always been afraid of their god and now you, we see you and we see your mistakes.

We are filled with fear.

[Cainad (dec.)]

Huh.

Don't get me wrong, it's a very respectful and profound "huh," but, as usual, I haven't got anything to say in response.

[Dr. Paes]

I logged in to reply to this, because I thought I had something to say.
But then I read it again, and seeing as Cainad already took "Huh.", I'll have to go with a "Hm.".
Very well done...
