prose

I held your hand and we stared into the universe together, back through time, sharing a small glimpse of how heartbreakingly beautiful this fragile life can be. I felt you leave,laughing,filled with light,your shadow embracing me.You belong to the earth now,shake off your atoms and the burden of being, go on to other places; you're absorbed into the debris of creation, parts of a remarkable gentleman, and my soul weeps, for this part of the universe has been robbed of an entire world. Existence is a tiny sliver of light between two eternities of darkness.That’s all.
But my God what a fantastic light it is.
