merry christmas

this is it, your long awaited return.
now is the time to escape the glittering blackness.
stunningly beautiful, tangled web of stars --
once you ached to be consumed
by the gigantic mystery of truth.
down through the belly of emptiness --
once you longed to be cast out into the dark...

this is it, your eternal visit.
now time is all we have to feel.
impassively accepting, spinning wheel of fate --
once you thrived on balancing your weighted soul.
down through the belly of emptiness --
once you shined a light towards none of it...

this is it, your harrowing farewell.
now the time has lost itself to futures.
steadily pulsing, heartbeat of the past --
once you loved to bask in its atmosphere.
down through the belly of emptiness --
once you drew breath from its curious aid...

all of that has changed
now fall back into my arms
i have long been waiting for you.
