she was everywhere and she was nowhere

she was everywhere and she was nowhere

there were no regrets

weightless and without fear, she floated away

time caresses her gently

thoughts bounce, random and disjointed
to form an insomnious composition–
a study in sharp slivers of colored glass
that although beautiful,
remain opaque and terribly fragile

oh it holds stars and moons and sparkling glitter that float in swirls of wishful thinking

one look, and she came undone

still, the past persists

the heart skips a beat for the early days of October

a vulture came to visit my chimney–
she spread her wings and ruffled her feathers,
and we stared at her in complete reverence
