The precipice - fourteen to life
The future is uncertain,
but today - today
is for eating cake.

The Cave Part 11
Darkness, and the countless points of light, as if the entire void beyond was filled with the fire of a million stars. I felt as if I was staring into the eternity of a night sky beyond those wooden doors, the place beyond the actual reality, while I stood behind a curtain of scenery, the mountain and sky a mere pretense. And in that void beyond of unfathomable space, there hung suspended a mighty shard of crystal floating in place, with hundreds of a far smaller chunks orbiting around it in balanced but intersecting circles, no two in the same path. These caught the light from the center, and sparkled with inner fire each.

One of my favorite things about ekphrastic poetry is seeing where someone else's mind goes. I enjoyed where yours went with this one!
I love a bit of cake ha! Seize the day mentality. 😁 Those guys at back look ominous!
