i can feel it
somewhere in middle night
somewhere in the endless ink of sky
pounding
this heartbeat of the sun
alive
inside the soft rose-colored walls of my own
heart
inside my love and my longing
for the light
for this night to bleed red onto that far away horizon
distant, and invisible to the naked eye

i can hear it
warm and soft and close
like an oversized cashmere sweater wrapped around my body
my body drifting
my body dreaming
my body deepening
somewhere in middle night
somewhere in the endless ink of sky
this heartbeat of the sun

here now
inside the soft rose-colored walls of my own 
heart
this heartbeat of the sun
is pounding
alive
and is engraving my own pathway
of love
and of light
somewhere
somewhere among the stars
