I hold my hand to the velvet sky, which swells with the timeless ripple of planets, moons and galaxies. The stars shower me with magic within this secret garden, where all that was, is and ever shall be is left to yesterday. Through the gentle silvered glades I walk, under shades of willow and oak, Ares and Aphrodite, time and space. Across a path of snow white atoms, that rapture with every step. And beyond a vast black chasm laced with stars; galaxies swirling with untold pasts, presents and futures; I behold the purest lake in all of existence, decked around with perfect orbs of glistening moonstone. The crystal sheen of its waters glows with sumptuous mysticism, and each rhythmic ripple is a hypnotic wave of knowledge. Through the chaotic maelstrom of birth, rebirth and death, I approach the moon pool. The waters sparkle with magic and wonder, and I step calmly into their mesmerizing ebb. The water is much lighter and deeper then I imagined, and as I lay down in the swirling tides it feels as if I’m floating on air. As I lay, the water clearing my mind, a voice as vibrant and ringing as crystal glass echoes in my head. It tells me stories, histories of planets and galaxies past, those existing, and of those yet to come. The gentle rhythm of the moon pool and the soothing song of the ghostly voice lull me into a trance, and as the galaxies above dance an eternal astrological ballet they birth a beautiful white snowdrift, which blankets the garden in diamond splendour. My breath billows above me, spawning images of fantastical creatures cavorting among the stars, as the lunar lake rocks me to sleep. And whilst I sleep, I slip into the icy pool, the infinite abyss of ages dragging me down into nothingness. Bubbles containing entire universes float up and away, as I continue my descent into the unknown. As I awaken, far away from the surface of the pool, a being appears before me. It shines with pearlescent white beauty, bearing the head of a unicorn and the undulating, suckered tentacles of a cecaelia. ‘Do not be afraid’, it says to me. I recognize it as the entrancing voice from before. ‘I shall carry you home. You needn’t fear my presence my child. I will help you now.’ And as I take its hand, the creature drags me further down into the pool. As we glide, the darkness gives way to colorful stars; constellations I recalled from above the garden. We are gliding through space, an astral dance where nothing binds us and we are free, free from worries and earthly cares. We land upon a pedestal of stars. The creature draws a great comet from the chaos around us and places it in my hand. ‘Take this, it will guide you the rest of the way.’ The icy orb glows blue-white in my hands, and when I look up the strange being has become a galaxy, swirling about in moonstone purity. I take the comet, and with some uncertainty I hold it before me. It shoots forth, and I become the comets’ tail; a vast stretch of ice, water and energy. We rush through time and space, the constellations becoming a blur of color and activity around us. A star glows brightly somewhere in the distance, and as we draw closer it increases in intensity and bleeds out, becoming massive. And as we hurl towards this bright white sun before us I know that this all must end, and I try to let go of the comet but we are now as one, gathering speed as we draw closer and closer. Then in what feels like a thousand eternities we collide with the bright star, obliterating all of existence in one fell swoop. The stars rush to the brilliant quasar that now takes in everything that is, was, and ever shall be, and in one glorious moment all is encompassed by the brilliant light of eternity exploding. Then silence as all fades to black. All has ended within one spectacular moment, and now only deafening silence and darkness exist in an everlasting, crushing oblivion. And then I awake.
