Sketches of Stars
Seeing a space, a place, an emptiness
An engraving of absent light only imagined
Yet understood by the shadows of sand dunes
Conscious of the pale reflection of the moon
Shuddering almost imperceptible
Growing from a loneliness embraced
Repelled from a void engulfed by pale ocean shells
Dissolving within a watery heartbeat stronger than any soul
Not fearing the regularity of its cycle
Not questioning the foreboding forbidden language
Neither questioning nor communicating
The answer no other acknowledges
The answer that knows all questions
But refuses to explain
There is no explanation
Only an imagined engraving
Trapped within...
A space ... a remembered place ...
Mere sketches of stars
