CONSUMMATE

Let's populate 
the nothingness of space 
With our dreams 
and our tender aches 

Let's fill our pens 
with stardust 
and write in the gathering dusk 
Our destiny 
shining brightly 
through the haze of the rising dust 

Let's rain on these swirls 
our tears 
till the skies are emptied of grey 
To make way 
for an amber sunrise 
that heralds a blessed day 

Let's paint 
our rosy pictures 
with the tatters of yearning hearts 
Upon the hollows 
of the celestial sphere 
bleeding from tragic shards 

Let's dance 
on the vacant cosmos 
in lofty steps that glorify 
The anguished songs 
of throbbing souls 
that we sing….both you and I
