Sunrise is a certainty.

The constant waits beneath the Earth,
as we spin thoughts into the stars
and stare awake at our dreams
flashing by in the neurons of nebulae.

Our luminescent longing burns inside us,
and each moment births another memory
that glows and grows
and waits to reach our eyes
eight minutes and twenty seconds in the future
plus the moonlit hours in between.

Thoughts travel at the speed of light,
our souls singing cosmic songs in harmony,
and for them, time is a whim,
bent to swirl into infinity in a heartbeat.

But for us,
there is the breadth of the nighttime
and the five hundred lonely miles
and the five seconds before you answer your phone
before our voices touch again.

Sunrise can’t come soon enough.

But for now,
we will glide on hope-rays and thought-beams
and land our light in each other’s hearts,
ready for day to break again.
