the horizon looked bleak
even from the start of this period
but she looked at the sky and breathed
and thought of the all places she would go
in this new world where nothing at all is sure
she knew and held to her few and only certainties
and so she went to the shelf and then dusted off a tome
and in her mind she went to places she could only dream of
these books she kept close as she endured life in the new world
for she was now beautifully lost and for once did not feel quite so alone

lately it is not much of a question
when they ask me where I have been
usually the answer is the same as theirs
either spoken with a chuckle or a solemn tone
our eyes gaze longingly thorough the window panes
for once now all human minds have one thought in unison
that if the world will be forever changed once we enter it again
it is time to cherish these moments while we are stuck in nowhere

I have become afraid of the stars
and drifting off into them
being enthralled by their light
and wanting never to return
my hand has been long waiting
for yours to make contact
before I float into space
with no will to come home
the stars are always waiting
pull me in before I’m blind
my arm is becoming weak
soon my eyes will be forced open

how can I continue functioning
as I am not whole anymore
the ever essential piece
my heart’s only purpose
is apart from me
now I can barely move
for it pains me so
in my bones I can feel it
the strickening absence of you
and how you’re missing me too
tu me manques (French)- you are missing from me

my wish wasn’t a small one
as the act was only once done
but nonetheless I gave my plea
to the seas between us
part for me and show the way
I will walk miles without tire
have the stars light a path
on my journey to you
