For many generations,

A single question has plagued the minds

Of adults and children alike.

Do we dance amongst the stars and comets,

do we float in an infinite void absent even of light

or rather do we retire to castle in the sky,

A kingdom of perpetual joy.

But a woman in my heart emits a symphony of melodic whispers.

She boils up with ideas and thoughts

as steam pours out of all apertures of a tea kettle.

She is me 

The lives I’ve prior lived speak to me through her

They help me navigate

They are my guidance, my police, my parents

They display my future 

They show me visions

They steer me clear of danger. 

But one day I will speak through her too,

One day I will be the voice for another extension of myself 

I will be her and she will be me.

In the wide and vast ocean,

I will be her captain

And we will sail together.
