Cosmic Longing Poem by Ronni ManoaHofbauer

Silently, I whisper his name
Into the void where echoes fade,
A dark chasm in my heart's frame,
Where once his presence softly played.

'Where are you? ' I gasp to the night,
As if I'm stardust torn apart,
A million supernovas in flight,
Lost in the cosmos, chart to chart.

A phantom, vast and undefined,
I drift through time's primordial haze,
In seething seas, unconfined,
Adrift in evolution's maze.

'Wake up! ' I cry, as teardrops fall,
Streaming down cheeks of mortal clay,
Fighting fears that would enthrall,
And steal tomorrow's hope away.

I shake off doubts that bind and blind,
These chains of 'what I might become, '
For in this cosmic dance, I find
The strength to beat my freedom's drum.
