She laughs...
flash, pop...
a small explosion...
a Universe is born...
all teeth and twinkling eyes
like the Stars,
bright and shining.
Taking simple pleasure
from blowing bubbles
caught on fingertips
she plays hoola hoop
with Orion's belt
while dancing across the
Milky Way.
Worn out and
sleeping peaceful...
settling into the
Moon's cool embrace
and napping on a bed of
Galaxies.
She sits in a field of flowers
looking on with Nebula wonderment
Sun revolving around her...
blooming...
a Nova...
too bright to look at,
too beautiful to miss.
She cries
and Comets shower
her anger...
her betrayal,
raining down...
her fire.
Make a wish.
She calms...
the seas...
too still...
Moon no longer holding sway...
reaching out for Angel Wings...
Stars burn out...
Candle flame dies...
she's out of this world.
