About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)

    Love this! 🙏 I feel you encompassed how we are all interconnected within the Universe. It made me instantly feel like we are witnessing a star being born or the last moments before it vanishes, a story of new beginnings or engaging faculty of wonder. Our blueprint, past lives, imprints (and all within the Universe) all have many lives ✨

    Perfect, absolutely perfect. You nailed that pic. Before I even read your words, I saw the eye. Well done, my friend.

    Oh, that's very well put.

    An eye, or an abscess! lol. Food for thought there. But, this was all kinds of beautiful and even a little creepy if you slant your look towards the nebula a bit. Well done, K r i s t e n!

    Ooooh, it does look like it's looking back! Marvelous sky-ku!

    What a great opening line for a story. And what a hauntingly beautiful Sky-ku
