ANightOnTheDock

This one goes out to all my friends, family, people I care about, newfound acquaintances whom I value, and those who I don't know right now that this will pertain to who will eventually read this.

Sitting on the dock right now at my cousin's lakehouse on torch lake in Michigan.  It's the clearest and bluest lake in the United States.  It's about 10 but it's still a little bright out.  But the first star came out.  There's fireworks coming from 2 different places.  I'm bumping the album Midnight Vibes By Slik D on my ipod.  Pure relaxation.  complete tranquility.  The time like this I get to myself is really dope.  I love it. 

But lately, and at times like this especially,  I've been wanting to share these moments with friends and people I care about.  I feel like these moments are the essence of me.

 I'm looking out at the fireworks and I can't wait for the 4th of July coming to blow things up.  Fireworks make me think of passion, drive, vibrance, courage, big moments.  They go really big and get oohs and ahhs from everyone, but then disappear into the night. 

Much like many of the experiences we have in life.  That's the effect manyphases, people, and events have been having on my friends and I lately.  So many short lived but great things that just happen to fade away into memories. 

And then I look up at the stars.

Not as explosive and attracting but tstill there and dope to me.  Only a little light, but always there.  I do my best to be a star.  Always being there, and although sometimes not the most aesthetically pleasing, but beautiful once you take the time to appreciate it.  And over time, having a relaxing and tranquil effect on you.  As opposed to the firework which is awesome and big but short lived.  but there are usually multiple in a row so your attention is distracted to that one after the first one dies out. 

I feel like I haven't had too many firework moments but I've always been more of a star.  Even though they're not there all the time, because nothing can be, you can always reach them at night.  I hope I've been a star to you all.  Or eventually wil become one.  Everlasting. Always there. Especially in the dark.  Lightly shining.  waiting for a glance if ever needed.
