Poetry: I can't reach you

by Heather Watkins

Created on: August 12, 2009

Shadows descend from every thought

shading what was covered by stars.

I don't know how to find my way back,

but I know that you

are somewhere within that fading.

I will not call off the search.

Every star guides me a fraction of a second

closer to where you've forgotten how

to reflect it back to me.

In a life defined by darkness

you have been

every brief glimpse of light.
