promise me
that you’ll look
for me
on the other side
in another life
beyond
what this is
promise me
that you’ll search
through this vast space
and infinite time
rushing through
the silence
of the universe
listening
for the echos
of my soul
so we can be
together again
promise me
you’ll find me

I sit under
the night sky
hoping the echo
of my words
will find you
and fill your soul
like no other
ever will

I wish
I could feel
the echo
of your voice
upon my naked flesh

and watch you
fall in love
all over again

you and I
we were written
in the blank spaces
of the universe
long before the breath
in our lungs
