I sit on hard stones
Feet dangling
Heels bumping, scraping
Soles finding purchase
At last
The sky mellowed in periwinkle
Above begins the descent
To meet me where I am
Without you
Here in the dark
In this cold
In this void
Faint flickering lights
Parsecs apart
An impossible distance
Against all reason
The fire within me
Answers the sudden flare
of orange in the heavens
I am flame and heat
Living light
I am whole and healed
Connected to
Every star burning
In this cosmos
Eternal
