Starfire When We Pass

source

Step into the circle, sister mine,

and feel our bond

through all the years of time

that brought us through

times beautiful and dire,

to this moment when

we step into

blue fire.

I lived a love

that became mine alone.

He knew not how to

for his past atone,

returned the gift,

and went off on his own,

so I carried it

through all the years:

a poem.

In the circle,

we return where we belong,

where all the loves we lost

are worth the cost.

We are finite.

We are also infinite,

each one note

in the universal song.

Our lives create

sweet memories that will last.

As the veil lifts,

we step through the looking-glass.

We transform into starfire

when we pass.
