I was confused by her leaving, thought it instead
the roar of the ocean or the fall of the sky
She made the waves rise for she is the water
upon You I played splashingly wonderful, once when young
Earth ends, sky reigns, there on the thin line
where I’ve tiptoed appearing nimbly soon after sunset
She in my arms, her hair a cascade over low-flying clouds
some nimbus of sorts bringing aqua-aqua to the world
In calm repose we align constellate, symbolic of who we are
on the grander scale, she so poised to take a single step
Into deeper heavens I gaze awaiting the faintest sound of a thunderous clap
signifying everything coincident with her return, aromatic escorts
With her gone comes impenetrable ground where once she was figure,
her form as empty in its definition as once it was a blossom
I bounce, a balloon on a ceiling in celestial updraft, peering,
waiting, bobbing
