Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition

Worm trails in black
Across a field of white
Weaving an age-old tapestry
Of lambent stars and sable ink

Paraphernalia of silken tears
All coated in shades of ivory white
That forays amongst an ink black shore
Seeking for seashells of ingrained stars

But look beyond the rolling hills and roaring sea

Far

Far

Above the sky and sea
For therein lies,
Constellations of age-old secrets
All written out
In stars of ink
