Cold Pillow

Crowned to early

Now on the other side

Belonging to a

kingdom

unseen

Your energy

as living light

Has been subtly displaced

Subtly moved from

this place

Spiraling upward

Pulsating with

brilliance and elastic

movement.

Your body

a cold pillow

Uncanny

in a cold casket.

The illumination that

made you who you were

has been abruptly diminished.

Yet

not destroyed.

Your passion

Has been temporarily

pacified and transmuted into a

space beyond my grasp. In turn, my

hope, like a skittish bird

has flown away into that unknown

sphere as well.

Conflicted here

While you flex on and

onward beyond that hazy

horizon where we shall all

meet.
