A Stargazer's Journal
I am aware
How the stars shine in her eyes,
Like pools of black waters for a mage to scry.
How the wind blows softly when-
She, in her graceful darkness
Raised her arms to the heavens
Casting the clouds aside
To let my eyes gaze in awe of the starry night.
I am aware
Of the depth of her heart
How her darkness consumes her light and
Her light consumes her dark.
How in her very being, I see
The Universe in all its glory.
I am aware
Of her tired eyes
As she sat in solitude
Singing the songs I have only heard in dreams.
How we float in an unending sea of darkness
'We'--balls of energy, darkness and light.
How we live on
Though our bodies have died.
I am aware
Of her heart
That felt none of the world
How in her last days
She had smiled for she had lived.
And once again with starry eyes
She turned to me with a jaded smile:
"I am no longer Human".
My consciousness,
Entangled with every being in existence
Since I first heard her voice.
And still today
While drifting off to deep slumbers, I hear-
The songs she had sung-
That appeared and disappeared
Within my forgotten dreams.
