2 am

I can remember how brightly the stars shone that night

the moon greeted me outside on the way to my car

perched upon her glow

Jupiter sits, serenades me

your arms around me

I could feel your heartbeat

could you feel mine?

could you feel, then

how my tears dried and flaked

my cold skin seems to crack in the presence of another

it's hard to find completion in a world

that poses so many questions

that quakes in His grasp

that shivers in His night

that floods in His tears, and

leaves me feeling like a hollow shell

upon the dirt that created me

when you realize how minuscule you are in

a universe of infinite boundary

everything seems to feel

like nothing at all.
