Micro poetry

Starman

of the celestial seas

Distance,
incalculable,
a vast and barren desert
more expansive
than the limitlessness
of human imagination,
lifetimes away
through a labyrinth
of emptiness pierced by starlight,
a void of space and
gulf between lovers,
across the galaxies,
through the nebulas
that speck the
celestial sea,
a destination
forever glimmering
light-years away,
illuminating
my path
through the nothingness.
