Into Air

I saw the stars

twisting through the void

in great purple clouds

of dust and magic.

I heard the universe

breathing in sunbeams

washed in rolling shores

and cloud.

I saw shooting stars

speak of paradise

across the mountain tops,

and the desert tree

celebrate the burning sun.

I heard the footsteps

of light fall

on ancient rock

whispering stories from

this end of time to that.

And somewhere,

I lost my mind

between midnight

and first light

and you were singing

in space with words
that vanished into air.
