It came down, in the end, to starlight... <br />Dusted lashes blinking, <br />Eyes trailing intricate arms of galaxies, <br />Thinking with breaths of blood, <br />Eons of blood... <br />One second...one life. <br />Wait for me, <br />I will meet you at the edge of dawn. <br /> <br />It came down, in the end, to starlight... <br />Raised hands translucent, <br />Nails embedding tenuous holds <br />As universes streamed past... <br />The footprints... <br />One song...one time. <br />Talk to me, <br />I will tell you of the edge of dawn. <br /> <br />It came down, in the end, to starlight... <br />Etching flame-aura shadows <br />Around ancestors, scarred and sleek... <br />For laws bound to the <br />Beginning...the end. <br />Walk with me, <br />We go to the edge of dawn. <br /> <br />And there, sit with our kind, the home <br />We always sought... <br />Beyond the speed of sight... <br />In our hands the while... <br />There to greet us at the Door <br />Forever open...starlight.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/star-journeys-vivace/
