This one's for my best friend Shell.

A rill of the moon is your penumbral cradle.
A blackhole is your mind.
An empyrean corona shines around the edges of your darkness,as you talk to me.

I hear meteoric conflagarations issue from your mouth.
Fire! Sulphur!Brilliance of a fallen star.

I hear your supernova words eclipse,
you hide again,behind your shadow.
Until the next time you sparkle out,
at the break of light in your mind.

Until the dawn of your next heliocentric day.
When you climb back out of the moon cradle
and decide to smile.

Quarks bump and collide like planets
as you watch it all go by.
You are no quotidian woman.
But a cosmic lady,you know how to fly.


"All art is an expression of pain."~John Lennon

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

And isn't she blessed to have such a beautifully poetic friend to do her such a magnificent homage? love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
