Star Child

He stands between time.

Not made of flesh or fire.

A beautiful boy, luminary and divine.

He is anchored to a world,

where he lives cosmically entwined.

Sweet, young child.

As his eyes met mine, he smiled.

Dressed in galactic light,

he is a small and mystical sight.

Composed of stars that form his celestial frame,

they flash within him like lightning

and dance like untamed flames.

Our eyes met again,

his reflected the essence of his being,

two more magnificent stars beaming.

"I've been waiting for you." He announced softly as he came in for a hug.

"Don't worry, Mom. I will wait however long you need." He added with no doubt.

"My baby. I've traveled across realms to find you." I whispered above his head. "You are more marvelous than I had imagined." Hugging him back tightly.

At first I was afraid to leave,

until my star child smiled at me.

His celestial figure,

a fascination to see,

how he's transcended.

I blew him a kiss,

turned around and fled home.

Trusting we will meet again

down a new road.
