What You Gave
What you gave was the humility
lost now in the starry universe,
dark and gray about to rain.
A circle of stars shuttering in place,
shifting from season to space,
dancing in darkness.
What you gave were these arms to
reach out and hold the world close
in an ever changing way, buoyant
and feisty, or ready to give up.
What you gave will always be alive
breathing into the surfaces of
the universe.
