I Am the Earth

For the contest, Any Poem, sponsor, Broken Wings, written 12/2/2015 A primal inertia has held us together. I dream of a time when we collided, when we danced together in a molten tango, a violent waltz of heat and fury. As our heavenly bodies fell into each other, we shone a light into the darkest of worlds. You governed my forces, shaped all I was ever to be. A gift of enduring stability, a womb, a cradle, a playground. but now, a heavy force, a heavenly force, a gravity, that which pulls us ever further apart. I have all the power of this world but still... ...still I can not hold you. With every passing moment you grow more distant, Your face, as I will always remember it, is frozen in time. But still you shine on, You give light to the dark of my night, You give hope to the life that I hold. You are my companion in time. You are my distant love. I am the earth, and you, you are the moon.
