Quantum Solace

As I sit solemnly in the solace of my wandering mind
My thoughts meander their way to images of you
Holding me, holding you in an embrace so warm that
The very sensation sends shivers up my spine, as if
Time stood still and temperatures flipped, like
Without warning, global warming became irrelevant
And seasons became irreverent to the natural order of the universe.
But in this galaxy, tucked away in the crevices of my mind
I dream of times when I could see you, touch you
And like a fruit picked too quickly from the vine
I grow bitter
Because I realize in this lonely universe that the ethereal force
That continues to drive its celestial expansion is you
You are my stars, my moon, my sun
And it is in this quiet of space that I reach out to you
For there are times when meteors shower and
Asteroids crash land on the crust of the planet that is me
And I shout out to the stars, the moon, the sun
In hopes of one day, like Icarus, touching them, touching you
Gravity strikes and my mind falls back to reality
And I recall that these bodies of gas and light and heat
Mean nothing compared to the warmth that is you
And I return to my solace, building wings that I may soon
Touch the face of my universe.
