Life and Death

Smokey room clouds my mind.

      I reach for you as the outline of your face breaks the fog, but my hand only meets the damp air.

Instead you e  x p  l  o  d e  into sparks of gold and red.

 

The dim light captures the shimmering cascade which now surrounds me.

       I look to the clouds on my left and begin to scatter you throughout the night sky.

             I have not abandoned you for no matter where I am the sky is always with me.

                   Longing and desperation fills me heart from dawn till dusk....

 

but at night we shall be together

And when I die we will share a permanent home in the sky among the stars
