Lost in Starlight

Jonna Kihlman

I rest in starlight, flow with the comets.

I see millions of worlds, endless forests.

I am part of eternity; nothing can harm me.

My hair is like a cloud, crossing infinite landscapes.

For a minute I feel your presence here.

I reach out my hand, but there is nothing there.

You erupt in stardust, nowhere to be seen.

Our story together, just a feverish dream.

I float in the vastness, feeling my lines disappear.

In space I am safe, I have nothing to fear.
