In The Relics Poem by rosalinda flores rosevoc

Hold on to me
In the relics that align us together
The dead rise with us
Stars float in the water

When the sky turns red,
Fire burns in the clouds
Sun and moon merge in a cross
Balls of light glow

As I see you here
Between night and day
I seek the warmth of your face
I hold on to your hands.

In the relics that align us together,
In a love so cherished forever,
I wait. I wait silently, achingly -
In the love you promised.
