Shellfish
How does one make a vision come true?
Does one have the right to shape people's lives, let them be alive again, force them to drink the universe and be happy?
Where does one begin? How does one begin?
Changing, I thought, was the first step. Change the self before reaching for the others.But can one change its self?
I told myself : you have two years to crush your shellfish and stupîd self. Two years like a pupa, to become the one you long to be. Two years to mend broken windows and gather strength and ideas.
But *laughs*
I delude myself. As the time comes nearer and nearer, the old feeling rises again. Slowly, furtively.
Those you love are the ones who break you most easily and completely. Without even knowing what they did. I never believed this. But it's true.
How am I to meet her again, knowing what she thinks of me, she whom I came to love like a second mum, my wonderful piano teacher?
And once there's holed windows inside, how do you mend them? How can a frail, cowardly and disgusting fleeing self rise, change?
Useless, useless questions. Useless torture. Useless words.
A vision, and more. A delusion, a dream to fill the void of a ghastly creature? I hope not.
I promised Llu I would write him. If only...No. Llu's an Absolute. Llu is a magnificent Doll, a doll who will never yield, even if it leads to destruction.
oua, I dared to mention Llu in this internet blog! I can almost see his defiant eyes widening in disbelief.
Yes, I will dare. I will dare and become Merlin.
As the title of this "article" says so plainly, this is shellfish. Selfish. Choose as you will. No matter how one hates its self, one cannot destroy it without losing one's eyes.
Stop groping for tomorrows that don't even exist, silly!

Chasing tomorrow's can seem a lost cause, but it's good to have dreams, because they lay out the path for the rest of your today's.
Reach for the sky Merlin, and you will touch the stars...

Aaah, ...yes, of course. *dreamy*
Some days it can be difficult. We all have our own demons to fight, or to love.
I hope you are right, Dil.
Touch the stars...*smiles* Who hasn't strechted hands and fingers to cup them? Who hasn't felt all the distance between us and them? Who would set out to reach them, set out on a journey beyond time, lives and death?
But yes. We have much to discover and wonder if we stretch our fingers to touch them stars.
Suddenly I can see thousands of arms reaching out the windows, toward the sky, trying to reach them...a forest of human fingers, splayed toward the same goal, the moon smiling upon the same nails.
Thanks Dil, for your words. These are the words that almost make wings sprout on your back.
