That Universe Poem by Rani Turton

Make me a part of that universe
Where you walk, where you speak, where you think.
Make me a part of all that is you. I want to be
An iridescent, integral part of you.

I will see the sunrise on clouded mountain peaks
As though it is the very first time;
I will watch the birds as they fly
High, so very high.

We will speak of existence. Absolute, lucid
And serene. If by chance I see
The sadness veil your eyes, alas
It will not be that great a surprise.

I have come from afar. Upto this point
The journey was my own. When the shadows lifted
It was better. Walk with me on this path.
Make me a part of that universe, silent, unwise.
