Creative Writing: The Stars
(At the end of a session with Meghann, she gave him three creative writing prompts for Alex to choose from. He chose "The stars: take inspiration from the night sky". She then found this google image to inspire him to start writing. Here's what he wrote. -Denise)
Why is the night such a mystery? Why does it frighten so many? If day were dark and night was light, would it be the opposite for people? I look at a sky like this and i am not afraid. I am inspired.
Because when i look at a sky like this, my eyes don't look at the blackness that has taken over. No, my eyes are drawn to the little puncture marks of light, left by a celestial moth who chewed its way through the thick fabric of night.
When i look at a sky like this, my heart doesn't freeze up with fear. No, my heart is set ablaze with courage and bravery. Because when i look at a sky like this, i see the victorious light warriors, the stars charging the night with their brightness.
The night sky gives me hope, courage and appreciation. Hope that even in my darkest days, my light will still shine through. Courage to push through that darkness to get to the light. And appreciation for the friends and family that are my moths, reminding me that my light is still there.
