Essence Poem by Jacqueline Palacio

When I'm no longer stepping the floor on this earth, that's when I've become a planet.
Ghost and gone, breaking this oblivion, a dust of spark, flowing through the dark.
Essence of mine up there in the sky,
with devotion left behind.
When your hear me in the wind as the breeze of the sea.
Somewhere where I used to be, somewhere where I used to feel.
It held me in its arms, covered me in its warm, saved me from the harm.
When I'm no longer in your sight or when you can't catch my eye.
Stare into a gaze that makes you go blind, it's like feeling daze falling from the high.
I heard once the brightness of the moon is the reflection of the sun.
That explains why you can't be on your own, that explains why you can't seem to let me go.
So when you can't hear me talk, don't hold down just go foward with all your heart.
And when you can't hold my hand, that's when I'm no longer there, that's when I've become a planet.
