Sharing the son

I was staring
into the sun this evening.
It was sinking fast.
As everyone
from around here
knows it does.


I could feel its warmth upon my face.
And I wondered if you felt it too.
Could you feel the energy
I was sending out?
It was reflected back into the sun
by the light that lives within me.


It was pure.
It was simple.
It was drawn from
specially guarded
memories.
That I keep
close to my heart.


With each memory
I felt a small spark
of familiarity
and warmness.
In that instant
I imagined
I was the sun.

Shining down
on you
looking up
at me.
I was hoping
that you
shared
the same spark,
when you felt
my warmth
upon your face.

Let's leave this universe behind

Why can’t we
just leave this
universe behind
and jump to one
where we are
together

To erase
a lifetime’s
worth of choices;
just gone.

We would be
free to rewrite
our story.

Two lives
that were
split and
somehow
switched
could be
reunited.

Nay!
Tis not
possible!
There is
no link
between us
and that
illusory
universe.
That is,
except
within our
own
imaginations.

Truth be told.
I’ve visited
that universe,
and that’s
why I thought
I would
share it.

It exists
within my
soul
because
I’ve been
there,
and
it will
always
be
with me.
