quiet now
look into this inky sky
see that star?
the bright one
just there
endless though it may seem
this sky is full of you
each star
each moonbeam
the wisps of the clouds
this galaxy we belong to
they are made up of the
very stardust that occupies
your veins
your ocean eyes
your steady heartbeat
your low voice
the curve of your back
the strength in your shoulders
your soft skin
your lovely fingers
come now
watch with me
this visual passage of time
and we will fill the universe
with the silences
we keep
these wordless conversations
spoken between
two hearts
and two souls
who were friends from beyond time
and space
and who will outlast the very
sun in this morning sky
