the ass-end of space

Through wilderness
the number'd cast me
whereupon by chance
within a clearing
I'd found the place
unlooked for,
and Sophia
She stood before
the gleaming stonework
of the chapel
unmarked and unadorned
and beckoned me with smile
"You've returned at last"
she softly spoke
"Do I know thee?"
I asked abashed
She laughed and answered
"You know all as all know thee,
come inside and you shall see"
I stood before the door
but dared not take another step
"What shall I find in there?"
I asked and she replied
"All that you'd left behind"
and softly kissed my lips
Into her ancient eyes
I gazed awhile
and knew her again
"I've missed you"
She smiled
leading me over
the threshold
"Come, take you soul,
it's where you left it"
