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.
