We are –

all of us –

fractured pieces

bits of gold

and glimmers

of momentary hope

cobbled together

into this stardust skin

we are electrified

tearing the skies

asunder

creating the new

stronger for the miles

we spent to find

our missing pieces

the fragments

of soul

that had been cast

to the compass points

we raise the elements

travel upon the wind

arrowing true North

upon the whim

of a goddess – Caroline A. Slee
