you  picked me out of the stars
and wrapped me in your light
falling
like a meteor shower
broken to pieces

ignited from the inside out
this passion
kindling sensation of life
overflowing

and the impact of survival
ongoing
as waters graze the sky
the golden lip of the sun shine
swallowing the night

and as the moon rises
there is but a simple line
to travel

to the center of the universe
to the center of beginning
to the center of thought

the tectonic motion

colliding and shifting
in old fashion
with force
with volcanic eruption

and singular destruction
there is meaning
in the dark

extinction

extends no further
but ends
it all ends
it never ends
