The Secret

The field was green, full of tall, green grass.
A lonely tree stood strong and proud amongst them.
They sky was a dark, mysterious blue.
The air was filled with it.
Electricity.
In the middle of the field: a girl.
Her dress was ripped at by the wind.
Long brown hair flying in every direction.
She looked over the shoulder
and smiled.
The girl had a secret.
Electricity filled the air.
Her smile got wider as she looked at the sky.
A strong sound started,
a great humming,
suddenly around her.
'7...6...5...4...3...2...'
She spread her arms and they were wings
A lightning bolt finding her heart
Filling it with energy, with light
The girl soared high, higher, and higher still!
Over the tree.
Into the sky.
She became stronger
and faster.
The air around her changed.
Electricity now in her, stardust around her.
Away into the unknown Universe.
Flapping her strong wings
Finally finding home
Stardust covering every inch of her
A layer so thick she shouldn't be able to breathe
A very bright light
Coming from her heart
The heart of a Star
