Transient Eternity

Spinning, wheeling, turning, a streak of light across the universe. My soul, my spirit, all that I am, gone in a brief flash here in this place, this earth, but everlasting in the cosmos. Searching, reaching, touching, my soul, my spirit, all that I am, winds itself, binds itself around your soul, your spirit, all that you are, a steady beacon, an endless column of light. I am a sparkling ice crystal reflecting the beauty of your comet self, the tinkling sound of glass shattering in the cold, a lower note, not lesser, harmony to your rich symphony. From galaxy to galaxy we whirl and turn leaving in our wake a melody of light, of love immortal to those who scan the skies; eternal in its perpetual newness, yet all too brief for us, forever is not enough time to love you.
