starlight express(ion)


I am there at almost anytime -
rain or shine -
anytime.
When the deluge parts
cross-members holding hearts,
or scorching sun beats
the will almost (not quite) to death.
Did I say “almost anytime”?
Did I slip out of mind
and knit the “all” with “most”
to leave a fraction of a chink -
a moment in a lifetime's gap?
Mind the gap!
Step swiftly on!
Too soon the train is gone
(but Grace-land has another on the way.)
Once more I say -
anytime,
rain,
shine,
sun,
moon,
stars...
well there's a thought.
A star becomes two stars
(but one by some mystery entire.)
Night fire -
warming guiding in the dark
(no dark when starlight marks a course.)
Mark's?
A course?
His course?
Not his but His
of course.
Not his but theirs -
now come full circle in this "two is one"...
can this be true?
That this course,
His course,
charted out and clear
is truly
madly
deeply
just for
You?
You one,
you two?
You two,
you one -
bright
nightfire.
