Celestial Journey 

She floats along the path

Heading for the cool autumn water

Hair flowing like shooting stars

On their celestial journey

She pauses and waits 

For her furry companion

Where she contemplates

Being out in the cold moonlight

Barefoot she continues

As the icy morning dew envelopes

Her steps, 

She feels no pain

Shedding her clothes, 

She steps into the depths

In the morning I walk to the shore

I sit and wait for the midday sun 

Illuminating a path

And reason with my heart why absence 

Makes the heart grow fonder
