A flicker conveys
more than words.

Your light continues
to keep me alive.

Despite the struggles,
the scattered shards
from your lamp
remain close
to my still beating heart.

Always there to
watch over me,
to connect with
me whenever I
was alone, lost, sad,
or needed someone
to share my sorrows.

Your spirit resides
in the lamp once
kept by your bedside table
when you were alive
with a pained
but joyful gasp
for air and life.

'Dolly'
My special name from You.

Forever.

My everlasting anchor
to safeguard the light
and love inside you gave.

Moni.

Say goodbye to the end of the world.
Without a fool to deceive,
what can I receive?

Will you listen to my sweet sobs
and relentless qualms for humanity?

Relinquish your pity,
for it does not give me strength.

Eliminate your sentiment,
for it does not give me peace.

Your empty support and
momentary prayers for my
wellbeing have overstayed
their welcome once again.

Only I can move forward.

Lost in a world of color,
crept away from the ground
beneath my feet,
I now wander through space
floating amongst the stars
shining just for me.

As I ascend above Jupiter, I
pray for a lost star to find
their way toward me.

A rebel in disguise, his
star will shine just for me.

I give him a warm smile,
I long for my wondering
and wandering to find a star
as lost as myself.

Surfing across the galaxies,
I wish to show him the ground
I walked upon before I began
my retreat from reality.

Will you hold my hand as we
descend from paradise?
