Labyrinth

Stars entwining, Warmth declining. This silvery dream melts Into luscious, abiding reality. Then you whisper away and I am left With an empty bed. Ghost-thoughts cling, Silent memories manifest, gently. And then roughly we tumble into A never-sought world of tomorrow, And now we are seeking – seeking – seeking – For a way to survive. Your distance is your strength, And mine. We aren’t lost – we are wandering Through a labyrinth of the future, unknown, undiscovered. There is cold and light and dark and heat Twisting together all into one moment Tearing at me soothing me reawakening me And all I can do is wait. And wonder What tomorrow will bring.
