By Priya Kavina
It was the middle of winter
When we jacketed ourselves in Gemini skies along the Laguna coast
And watched the universe rain to Earth
Fusing the millions into one.
That night, in the chaos of the cosmos,
The million parts of me, too, became one
And I no longer had to ask a falling star for anything more than charm
Because you became my meteorite
My wish, my Christmas
Turning fear into star dust
And each new year into gold
With you, I am interstellar, love
Infinite and uncontrolled
How can I say you give me butterflies
When you give me so much more
The only thing that remotely compares
Is compressing outer space in a jar
And letting it explode

Priya, can’t tell you how inspiring your poem is… And how excellent it is from a creative point of view. My friend and employer, that I’ve worked for in Laguna Niguel, for 18 years… passed last Jan… And so your thoughts and images spoke to that as well. Thank you!
