still

i will wait as long as
possible.
even as i sit and look up
at the night sky.
i will keep looking
until
circles of
shimmering
white
all fade out.. and the sky is left black
like a rolling sea.
my face tilted up
ever in the sweet air
i see shadows of
them
they throw flowers at my feet
reds and yellows
friendly fellows
but i let them wilt
into wet
grass.
my skin is cold
then brilliant in spring winds
and then i am
brown under sharp rays.
but oh
i still wait.
i dance under
purple clouds and sing in slow
falling
rain.
tonight the last star
whispered
goodbye
and finally
i could see
new light.
in anothers
waiting eyes.
