Survival In Distance

And there she laid
In the vast void of universal eternity 
Her hollow eyes staring into the vacancy 
                   Reflecting 
the internal abyss of fire 
Residing within.
As she pondered the invisible 
A questioning Gazing fixed on the stars and - 
Rotating planets, 
mesmerizing its transcending infinity 
Requesting the stars and energy's guidance 
On survival in this void. 
For there mere existence Still
Mystically conveyed the survival secret was present

Fiercely she scanned 
Glaring at the Suns descending into the horizons 
Dissolving into the darkness 
As the stars of secrets emerge 
Perplexing her with its appearance
Limited to darkness.
And then the veiled entered her vision 
telescopic planets of fire that remain mystery 
the moon that was always partly hidden. 
And then the wind came rushing
Caressing her hair 

And just like that - she understood
The disappearing wind has whispered it to her. 
For it forever remained
Far - but near 
Like the horizons - which existence is solely in distance
Like the sun that will burn you if it was any closer 
Like the moon who is always partly hidden
Like the stars of secret that only emerge in the dark
And like all things that come close
But not close enough 
to make her own 

Forever she remains a stranger 
In her house of existence 
For the universe in distance has taught her
To never bring it home
