A Star and a Spark

When the warmth, 
Emitted by our star,
Graces this side of the world,
Breathes on my face,
Sinks into my skin.

Something stirs,
Rippling hidden shadows,
Returning blood to my heart,
A flash of fire,
A splash of color.

An ember, 
Quivering within ice,
Desperate for oxygen,
For carbon life,
For anything that burns.

The Great Sun,
Awash in its own light,
Drawing out the smallest flame,
My human spark,
Heat calling to heat.

Undone

  
Undone

It is a theory
True love comes once
An empyreal moment
Swallowed by fear.

It is the breath
That is stolen,
As the terror sets in
Perfect vacuum.

It is the mind
Sworn to reason
To predicate logic
Simply undone.

It is the heart
Chained, fused, and sold
Bound to a melody
Ever distant.

It is the soul
The human light
The animating force
Dark with anguish.

It is the voice
Raw, strained, shaken
That utters surrender
That is grateful.
