The universe stretched wide without an end
A cosmic sea no human heart could bend
Its stars burned fierce with fire they couldn’t lend
A brilliance cold too distant to befriend
But then your love stepped quietly inside
A softer light than galaxies provide
It warmed the void where loneliness would hide
And taught the stars the meaning of a guide
Your presence outshone constellated flame
A brightness no horizon dared to tame
The cosmos bowed itself without a name
Awed by the gentle power you became
So stay with me beyond the edge of sight
Beyond the pull of shadows day or night
For love like yours transcends the finite—
Outshining worlds
outlasting even light
