#40 Two-Thirds Finished Poem

Part 1:

The sky is falling

One long lingering gaze turned into an action
An explosion, a spray of star dust
The sun had been stationary
For what seemed like eons to the solar system
But the sun was making it's move
Launched forward by light years of longing
The sun has fallen in love with the earth


Part 3:

The ocean, she
Evaporated, rose, boiled, heated
Lit up in a fantastic array of light and fire and steam
bottomless sea mingling with endless star
She is moving, he is closing in
She is finally breathing
He is finally close
And they are dying
But it's the only time they feel alive

Consumed by a cosmic kiss
The earth is gone
But she is fire
And he is fire
And they are happy
