Lullaby For the Stars (ChrZ) [new]
...The group's (previous) conversation hit a silent note. Everyone was tired, but not quite ready to give in to the night. Sage laid on her back and stared at the stars above her. She subconsciously started humming.
"What is that tune?" Blaine asked, having heard her hum it another night.
"It's a lullaby my mother used to sing to me as a child." She responded. "It reminds me of when I was younger and time was simpler. It's about the stars." She motioned and Blaine turned upwards to see the cloudless night sky.
"What about the stars?" Blaine responded.
"It's a fun little story about a planet that gets lost. It loses its way and wanders through space. The sun follows after it, but they can't be like they were before without the help of the other stars. So the planet sings a lullaby to the stars. The stars then slow down time for the planet and sun to find their orbits again."
"Does it mean something? Is there a moral in it?" Blaine asked as he thought back to his own childhood.
"Of course, every good song has meaning" Sage said. "Sometimes we move through life a bit too fast, we fall out of our orbit, and then we need to slow down our free fall. The strongest light in our lives might be just be out of reach, but we usually need the help of others to slow down and find our place in the universe again."
Blaine didn't say anything. He continued to look up, thinking about this strange adventure he was on. It only lasted a few moments as Kip energetically came out of nowhere and stumbled into him...
