Polaris

Burst from the hole of space

Strewn across star studded time

Thrown backwards at a great force

I tread water in a cosmic sea

Fumbling as an infant while

You stand on another shore

Waiting while I swim alone

Not daring to dip so much

As a single toe in the sand

I bathe in the reflection of a gaze

Once a stone’s throw away

Now I shiver in the oort cloud

Brightly you burn eons away

An impossible pursuit, this fruitless chase

Love cannot be understood

Revelation comes much too late

Lifetimes are spent wading

Lost through the dark eternity

Until starlight touches our skies
