Grace

The darkness was dotted with many stars,

Some small, some large but all shining,

Reaching slivers of connection and unique voice.

We, the stars, grew to orbit the darkness,

Spheres overlapping, light joining for a time

Before the tide moved us forward again.

You shone with kindness, a compliment

And a gentle smile made of contentment,

A fire to warm and inspire sparks of motion.

For brief moments, we impacted each other

But a flicker, a gust of cold wind

And you were Not, lost to this dimension.

But whispers came to my wandering light

Of a place named Day, a light called Sun

That created our cores and allotted our time.

You are safe in the sun’s sweet beams

And I orbit on, forgetting as I sleep

But I smile in the dark; you are home.
