O, if anyone is coming for anyone tonight
let it be me
may I stumble on a star and lie there for all of time
or feather my nest inside the downy edges of the Big Dipper
then grasp the tail of a wandering meteor
orbit a comet carousel around the sun
and sail and sip my way through the Milky Way
I would travel around an enchanted moonlit sky
linger within the endless night blanketed with stars
dip my pen in the Black Hole
and write love letters to the night
but o, I am too soon back to my still warm bed
the covers slightly rumpled
the dreamer still dreaming
embraced in a cloak of stardust
you must know now
I belong to the night forevermore
O, if anyone is coming for anyone tonight
let it be me

This is beautiful…very sufi-like…could have been Hafiz or Rumi….
Really?! Wow! You know what? I wrote this poem years ago, found it while digging around in a drawer last night. I didn’t like it at the time, so I tried re-writing it last night, still didn’t like it. Re-wrote it again today and the whole time I was re-writing it, you were the person I was thinking of…so you could say this poem is dedicated to you because it captures the essence of how I view you, with other worldy stars in your eyes.

beautiful!
Thank you, Ji Hyang, for taking the time to leave a note of appreciation here.
Well that makes the poem even more wonderful….have to say I LOVE how you view me :-)
