the shade was dense
colorless yet shining.
you were a sun
masquerading as the moon -
a transparent costume
that only added to your charm.
independent and passionate
self-sustaining and fluid
a sharp flare reaching out
to grasp the depths of time,
an ironic beacon
pointing to the cold and stationary world
instead of becoming part of it.
as you embraced time
time embraced you.
you collapsed violently into the concentrated darkness,
into an endless black hole.
my eyelids went heavy
as i tried to find a point of impossible light.
my second eyelid lifted.
there was no visible light
but i knew that i was blind
and i felt in that moment
the most reassuring promise
of time and space.
as the events in our lives melt us
beyond that dark horizon
we all become one.
broken into the same elements
our cores exposed in offering as our
mothering universe pulls us home.
whether moon
whether star
whether a dying star
in eternity's beautiful abyss we fall
and we become one.
