Terra-Incognita

I misspoke when I called you a star in the night sky

Yes, you are bright. Yes, you shine and glimmer with a radiance I have not seen before.

Yes, I feel myself drawn to you with a powerful gravitational pull.

But I think more accurately, you are everything in-between

A void of mystery shrouded in secrecy

Acting as nothing more than blank space.

But you and I know know that’s not true.

There is much more to those gaps,

Much more to read between those lines.

Final frontiers unexplored, unfathomed, undetermined

You are Space

A vacuum of not nothing

But everything

All of existence encompassed in your eyes

My world in the palm of your hand

Everything ever conceived or dreamed

Is found in you.

You are no star, no planet, no astroid.

You are no Heavenly Body because you are Heaven itself

And I am drifting slowly

Baffled by the expanse

Lost

Breathless

Floating

Completely enveloped in enamoration

Waiting for the moment

To be caught in an orbit

And fall
