A thousand glittering stars
spun road webs of white yellow and red
cannot console me
from this nagging feeling
that I've left something behind.
sprawling vastness that it is
like some dark, shiny creature
And I try
vainly
to find the light
that hits your face
I wonder where you are
right now
Are you looking up
while I'm looking down
are you engaged in this
futile search
to a add a moment
of solace
for those long nights
waiting for us?
30,000 thousand feet in the air
toes dangling
but my heart is heavy as lead

Enough
for now

this too shall pass
as all things do
with time.
Wings touch earth
I am back
but not
for very long.
