Emptiness defines space
energy defies matter
my words are empty
next to your soul.
Traces of light
flashes of brilliance
the beauty of your heart
cannot be undone.
A woman of oranges
and snowflakes
you made me smile with
stories of the moon
earthen fingers
and old photographs.
We see now as
a reflection in a mirror
porcelain angels
staring at the sun.
Yaya
May the clouds
sweep you up
bear you onward
and fortify your soul.
