I remember, I remember
The bright stars
The dark night
How we flew together
Without fear
Into the violet spaces between the stars
Over the midnight blue mountains
From one cluster of brightness to another
To the end of the galaxy
And how you pointed your finger
Across a black desert of empty space
To other galaxies
To other stars
To the souls of other children
Flying between
I remember, I remember
How you showed me
The star that is our home
How we sat together
In an umbrella of brilliant light
How we both became invisible
Unravelling from within
My dark shell dismantled
Your bright wings revealed
We were one.
