Etched

Indelible

By Colleen WaltersPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

So close

gentle touch

quiet space

hearts beating

together

mind melded

soul synchronized

into a moment

splitting dimensions

ethereal

granted

written

but no more

blotted out

what happens

when one heart

stays

and the other

leaves

one soul

cries

and the other

flies

only the One

who scattered

the stars

across the sky

and lit the moon

with the sun

knows.

    Oh I like this. It's like your words became the constellation. Quiet space as though the two are in space among the stars. 'One soul cries and the other flies', what a haunting line. Very fitting for the theme. The ending was superb, 'only the one who lit the moon with the sun, knows'. Indeed. 👌🏾

  • Awww, this was so lovely. Such a wonderful poem!

    Interesting contrast with different bodies (celestial and human)!
