words

I watch your little mind tremble
With possibility

As I teach you the names of the planets
I imagine your tiny form firmly footed
On some local bodied terra firma
Or floating among alien jellyfish
In the atmosphere of a gas giant

Or weaving through the Ort cloud
Destination unknown
Spinning a Fibonacci spiral out there
The thread between you and I unbreakable
Our ancestral memories stippled somewhere
Across the bridge of our being

No matter how far out you go
I will be with you
And you with I
Encoded by the light within
Forever
