Staring up at the night sky
Counting each
and every
star

Silenced
as my heart
reaches out
into the expansive universe

The warmth of your memory

Guided by your spirit
into the darkness
towards the blinding light

My breath stops
center in my chest

The light within my eyes
flickering
As I feel the cosmos
wrapping their fingers around me

The soft blades of grass
act as a bed

Heart beat slows.
I exhale a heavy breath.

Until I am
consumed
into the painted black sky.
