Farming over the clouds

here was a fire, Huge logs in the middle of the beach. She was a little distant from everyone else. 

The fire barely illuminated her face and the lonely tear that came down her cheek. 

The wind moved her hair as she tried to keep it away from her eyes. She smiled once looking at the sea. 

The sky was still somewhat blue but dark. Started to show some stars. 

It was starting to get cold, it was too windy and she wanted to get close to the fire. But she was keeping a secret. 

She whispered to the first star she saw and her words came out like smoke from her mouth. 

The smoke moved up towards the star until it disappeared. 

Then she wasn't alone anymore, he came up the little hill and sat beside her on the trunk that lay on the beach.

" I don't think I can do this anymore," he said.  " Which part? " she asked. 

" the whole thing, I mean we've been farming starts for years and it doesn't feel right anymore," he said looking up into the sky 

She held a hand up almost like holding an invisible rope " let me show you something" she said pulling the rope down 

The white smoke that she whispered earlier became a thread connected to a star. As she pulled it she said " I've been letting them go back up just before they're gone and up there I nurse them back into full force" 

 He looked at her and looked up into the sky then whispered and connected a tread of white smoke onto hers. 

He suddenly felt the life force of the star, the one that a couple of days ago the tram nearly evaporated from extraction. 

" But how? Where do you get the energy?" He asked

" the trees" she replied 

Confused, he looked at her without saying a word, she understood the look and continued "I didn't understand it either but somehow the energy we take from up there is also being generated here. If I connect to the roots of the trees I can send the energy back up to the sky and refill the stars" she said
