The Star

You may be light-years away

but I can still feel your glow.

We may not meet physically

but your love I do know.

May your existence be blessed

wherever you happen to be.

I'll be sure to come find you

once my soul escapes my body.

Whichever afterlife you've adopted,

I will find my way around.

Assuming you want to see me,

I know you will be found.

There is nothing that can stop me;

I care not what the gods allow.

In the meantime, I'll stay here

cursed to remain apart for now.

***

Dedicated to A.A.B. Your moms miss you.
