In the Ether

The only thing I can recall clearly

is the sentiment — we could have been

stardust chasing stardust,

flying above the great ether at night

speeding onward and onward

always laughing with pure relief

and the abandonment of leaving

everything else behind,

the sound of guitars rifting long and low

and seeming to never end,

and the feeling —

of being lost in a time that felt

both very real and very fragile —

yet, looking back, I can recall

not a specific name nor a

particular place, but only

the rare feeling of heaven around me,

and the rush of getting to

know someone.
