Pleiades

For Mikkjel, on the occasion of your birthday.

Lie back love, in my arms.  Stare at the stars with me, let the night caress you and the dew from the grass seep into your back.  If you're cold, I am here, but look there.

Do you see the Hunter striding across the heavens?  He is Orion, and see, there?  He chases Merope and her sisters across the sky.

This is a lovely surprise, thank you so much. And it's interesting; I didn't know much about these mythologies, aside from Norse, which made me laugh when you came to it. Many parts of Norse mythology do tend to be more... practical, I guess is the word, than their cousin mythologies. And I feel it's still reflected in our culture, even today.

I enjoy your stories, and would like to hear more one day. I'm saving this and I'm going to do something nice with it in printed form.

This is actually (exactly) a month early, but considering I've only mentioned my birthday to you once I think, months and months ago and probably in a very chatty group setting, I really am surprised you'd remember even part of the date.

I'm glad you were the first to do something special for my birthday this year. <3 It means a lot to me.
