Welcome to Gaia! ::

Silence. Utter silence. The sigh didn’t make a sound. He blended in to the dark and silent vacuum of space. He always travelled closer to the stars, for the darkness was lonely. He enjoyed the warmth and light. He helped the stars grow and blossom into brilliant flame. He could carry them for a short period of time so that they could light and warm cold planets. Now, he floated through the nursery.
If he was created by a variety of things from space and sky, perhaps he wasn’t the only one who could be created in such a way. He aimed a soft blue glow of magic straight into a forming star. It blazed brighter and he fled to avoid being burned. When it slowly receded, it took on a feminine shape. He glided back over. It was like him, except shaped a little differently. It glowed a golden color, where he was a blue hue. He watched hair grow out, bright eyes open, and the chest rise with a breath. When the heat died away, the figure closed her eyes. He reached out and took her hand to pull her from the nursery. As he guided her out, he felt her burn his hand. He quickly let go when they were out far enough. He floated, waiting for her to awaken. They were made similarly, like siblings. He watched with peaked curiosity.
Her eyes opened and she looked down at herself. Her own appearance wasn’t a surprise. She felt like she’d always been alive, merely waking from a nap. She raised her softly glowing hands, then looked around her. She tried to swim to move, but the struggle amounted to nothing. She gave up and floated there until she noticed eyes blink. She gasped, then saw the clothes and could pick the form out from the darkness that surrounded him. He offered his hand and she took it. She let him guide her to a blue and green marble that was wrapped softly in white. They got close and suddenly things began to change. She could hear for once, and the air around them was different. Air, breathable, and a little cold until they got lower. It got warmer as they went, and he paused once he deemed them low enough.
“This is Earth. It’s the planet that I like most.” As he spoke, the blue being changed slightly. His skin was the same light blue of the sky they were in. His voice was soft. “My name is Blue, and I was created around here. You were created in a way kind of like I was, I think.”
“My name is Faith. Thank you for bringing me here. You are like my family, then?”
“Aside from not actually being from space, I guess so. Like siblings. You can be my sister.” Blue was in different clothes, like she saw of the people down below them. They were close enough to see. She looked and noticed her own clothes were semi-casual and a cream color. She wanted clothes like them, though. To fit in like Blue almost did, if it wasn’t for his skin. Slowly, her hand came free of his, but she didn’t float. She was about to scream before he took her hand again and stopped the fall. “Sorry. I guess you’re a falling star.” He grinned and guided her down to the ground beneath them. She smiled back as her feet touched the ground.
“Blue, why did you bring me here?” She looked at the humans who gave them quick glances. She felt a little self-conscious and stepped closer to Blue.
“Because we can talk here. And there’s food. Do you want new clothes?” He tucked one hand in a pocket and pointed with the other toward a building. “This shop looks good. Come on.” He led her inside and stepped toward one side of the store. “Pick some things you like. This place isn’t expensive. I’ll buy you a couple of things.”
“Oh. Okay.” Faith began browsing for things she liked, and picked a few out. She returned to Blue with them to show what she found.
“You don’t know your own size yet, right? Go try them on. I’ll be right here.”

They left the store with a couple of bags. Blue also stopped at a cart that smelled amazing. He came back with something he was eating, and handed her one. It was something long and thin wrapped in a squishy light brown thing, and Blue was biting into it all. Faith did the same and smiled. “This is really good.”
“You like hot dogs.” Blue smiled back and lead her out of the crowded part of this area. He handed her a small rectangle. “Here’s something for you to read. I have more, when you’re done.” He took her hand and flew her up into the clouds again. They got to one that was large and shaped to keep them out of the sun, or in it, depending on where they wanted to sit.
They sat in silence while Faith looked through all her new belongings. She set to organizing them, and Blue just watched for a bit before shaping his cloud like a house so they could go inside and not have to worry about the weather or anything blowing away. It was something like a shack, nothing special, but enough.
“Now what?” Faith asked. She had changed her clothes inside while Blue had waited outside. He had his feet dangling off the cloud. He looked up when she came over.
“Well, there’s plenty of world to see out there. I can let you go alone, but I also think there’s a place you should see.”

Shooting star in gliding grace
Sailing straight across the space
Between the worlds, between the ash
Between the moons and comet paths.
Shooting star
Fly so far
Know forever where you are.
Light your way
Turn night to day
Glimmering in the vast array
Of bleak darkness
And in silence.
Little star, you are my guidance.
Wherever you are
Near or far
You will always be a star.

Spread thine radiance in the form of petals.
Bloom in the spring and flaunt thyself all summer long.
Change with the autumn, something new, still bright.
Glimmer in the winter from the cold sun’s rays.
Year in, take in the potential. Explore, and grow.
Year out, learn from mistakes, make new promises.
Day by day, live full of life.
Night by night, dream of more to come.
Smile, shape, shine a lifetime long.

Alice In Wonderland Poem
It’s dark and scary and I’m all alone.
I found my way inside a rabbit hole.
There’s some risks I’ll have to take.
Tough decisions I’ll have to make.
On my own.

And they’ll say “Little girl, you have a dream
But no one cares about what you’ve seen.
You do as told and be okay.
Life is gold and it’s the only way.
Do like mommy and be a good girl.
There’s a place for you in this world.
Do as we say.”
It’s just another day.

I’ve lost myself and don’t know where to go.
I’m just trying to find my way home.
Strangers tease me for what I think.
The world changes in a blink.
I got lost.

But they say, “Little girl, you’re all confused.
Don’t pretend like your dream’s abused.
You just have to learn to be
The proper girl that your family needs.
Do like mommy and hold your head high.
But don’t get caught up in the sky.
Do as we say.”
It’s just not my day.

I’ve dealt with madmen and their tea.
I’ve planned all that I knew I could be.
I followed strangers and tried to tread.
I also made sure I kept my head.
I walk my own paths, and I’m alone.
I know exactly where I’ll go.
I am found.

I’ll make them say, “Little girl, my how you’ve grown!
I suppose you’re ready to be on your own.
Build a family, and build a home.
Go only where you would want to go.
Take your future in your own hand.
We’re proud of you wherever your stand.
It’s as you say.”
I took back my day.

We can see the world,
Or so we were told.
And now we are making it so.
She took us away
And out to play
To learn what we do not know.

She breaks the rules
With crafty tools
To show us all new things.
With animals out
Exploring about
So we know what captivity means.

And, through all that
It’s where we are at
That is the golden truth.
And it is how we see
All of everything
That evolves us from our youth.
