this LOVE lasts

In your darkest hour,
I won't leave you.
Along the way,
I may take distance,
I might create space between our two galaxies,
orbiting at a farther distance,
awaiting the moment when you re-establish
your equilibrium, when the mania of your full-tilt wobble
comes into a peaceful rotation once more,
yet in your greatest moments of need,
I will bee there.
Not to hold you up, but to let you fall,
to crash back unto this planet Earth,
a sturdy ground below your feet,
a terrain that can sustain your feeble humanity.
And from the ashes I will rise to hold your hand, to run and laugh,
hurdle and jump, as we greet the dawn and dance 'till dusk,
as we seek shelter under canopy and rediscover the light,
until night descends and we part once more,
to burn and blaze across the sky,
meteors bursting into flame,
stars gaining speed and mobilizing mass,
swirling eddies and currents of space dust
the magnetic energy unfolds
time marches on and this LOVE lasts.
