Tidal Pool of Days End

tidal pool of light gathers round my feet as day evaporates without sound it echoes in my minds eye a thousand years breathed in a single moment the weight of worlds falling within the graceful collapse of a single feather touching like tender kiss tumbling lost like me to the same battered wood floor she once laid in such divine supplicant pose bare to the golden light as i am now and for a fleeting moment i share imagined space with her presence i can feel thunderstruck awe of her casual passing through this place she she but as the tidal pool of days end dries to the inky darkness and the moment of perceived shared destiny's fades i gather one last kiss to her soft hand one last fare thee well for one so loved and yet so lost left behind all delusion that i could deny you anything you desired i forgive you for being the object of my affections i forgive you for being the crux of my self illusion i forgive you for being the thousand years i breathed in that moment i say goodnight because you are... i kiss you goodnight because you once were the... tidal pool of golden warm light now gone
