Our

 

In many moments
that are like light between the trees,
that are like colors
across the evening sky,
I see my life is so much more
than what I thought

It can't be limited by space or time -
it spills out of the sides
of any constructs, it stretches out
in comprehension
of something bigger than the realm of stars -
as comprehensive, finally, as "our",
as big as hope, enduring as desire.
