TWO SOULS

Casting eyes to the heavens - Emptiness!
Emptiness accented with twinkles of light
craving to feel the pull of another.
Extending rays to eternity in hopes of
a Moon or Sun to engulf their being - to make
whole - to fill the boundless void - to bring
completeness. Hot lava forges the darkness,
burning from its center, emitting energy
and pulling close to it a Moon. The Moon
comes near, but never touching, yet soothing
the inner heat of the fiery lava - causing the
tides to rise, fall, and calm a raging ocean -
an ocean of emptiness and voids - but never touching.
Two burning masses lock in orbit
to feed the souls of each - but never touching.
An attachment of heavens darkness,
one circling the other - but never touching.
Volcanoes erupt dispensing ash, dust, and
particles one to the other - empty holes are
filled one to the other. The two become one
of ash, dust, and particles but remain
alone in the dark emptiness of space. Alone
and pulling - but never touching. Then ! -
Casting eyes to the heavens - Emptiness!
Emptiness accented with twinkles of light
craving to feel the pull of another.
