chasing stars
darkness engulfs the vast sky
just moments after the sun's parade;
and, for a heartbeat,
the emptiness seems absolute;
the pain, wrenching, as if
from love irrevocably lost;
then, with a blink, pinpricks of light ---
they appear in silent succession;
the constricting darkness gives way to
a boundless bejeweled sky;
and I --- I fall softly into its quiet embrace
of endless possibilities;
thus, this is where I will remain,
embracing the darkness, chasing stars;
as I await the promise
of my inevitable new dawn.
