Water Light

By Matt Payne

Infinitesimally small and infinitely powerful,
She glides from the Sun on the breath of stars.

Her destination unknown –
Her journey guided by the guardrails of faith.

In a once in a lifetime encounter,
She fleetingly unites with her perfect soul mate.

Now it is over –
Now it has only begun.

They are present and attentive to this union,
A glistening display of breathtaking proportions.

Such a miniscule event –
Such massive cosmic light and impact.

They carry the light and the experience,
And are transformed forever and always by her love.
