Cosmic Quest (Part III): Interstellar Romance
the explosion leaves us drained
a burst of creative energy
surges through the atmosphere
a cosmic solar flare
set everything ablaze
reducing us
to stardust.
oh, I need to land
on something more stable than your nebular energy
I need to find my way this time
out of this black hole
and not farther in it
push myself out of your orbit
thrusting away from your gravity
into a void of my own.
phases of the moon
reveal your faces to me
shadows, clouded - leave me wondering
you control the tides of my emotions
with little more thought
than the oceans do the sea
I don't want to drown anymore or waste resources on
this interstellar battle
I want to reach out for a hand
one that will hold on tight
keeps me anchored and will not let go.
Sincerely, Lori
