You Are Of Light

Star-bright, star night

Star shine, star mine

You are wondrously bright

You shine like stars

Like a billion of them

Blazing across the sky

In a trail of tears

Shed by moons of many eons ago

You are of sun

That forever ball of light

Warmth, eternal

Brilliance, despite anything

A beat of heat

That I can wrap myself in

You are of warmth

The blanket beneath my bones

The fire on the fireplace

Crackling, crickling

Gently flickering away

Warm my body

Warm my bones

Warm my every mote and mind and soul and span

Warm me up

So I can warm you as well

Oh, my darling

You don't even know what you do

You don't even know

As my world expands around you

And light fills my eyes

And my world twists and turns and shines and fills

Others' worlds are, too

...

You are of light

And you,

You are here to stay.
