Eternal Nights

Time always seemed
so fleeting to me,
wings of melted waxen feathers
plummeting towards the sea.

But you say time has ceased,
you hold the golden hourglass,
and I think to myself, at the very least
I stopped with you.

You told me that we were
beings of light and energy
that traveled across the cosmos,
leaving something
just a bit stronger than memory.

We are illuminous pillars of matter
that reflect each others light
and glow all the brighter
in each other's eternal nights.
