Something mighty moves through flesh and bone and star and galaxy.

Whatever it is that fixes the stars in place also fixes the one true love in our hearts.

And if that one true love does not recognizes us

We live in the shadow of tragedy

We die in the moment that never was

 

And yet beauty and truth

With a still, small voice call us

They comfort us

They entice us

And we have no choice but to live

Live in beauty and truth

And yet die without our one true love

Such a life is hard to overcome

Some cruel trick

Some other movement that can’t be moved to

Silence

Moments

 

Our days are filled with beauty and truth

And yet some movement that can’t be moved

Moves in our souls

And yet some movement that can’t be moved

Moves in our souls

Again for this life

For these moments

That fill us

And she walks past me

Knows me not

Cares not

 

But universes speak from my heart to her

Galaxies spin for her

Yet she knows me not

She is not

I have become the unmoved mover

My spirit moves over the face of the void.

 

Something beyond her calls, beckons

But that something can’t be kissed

Can’t be touched or touch back

Like only she could

She marks the place of my birth and my death and all the moments in between

And she knows not.

My place, she, knows me not

And yet speaks with the beauty of the universe

And the truth of love.

These things only fill her absence.
