skyway

as stardust glittering at eyes

and spirits passing by again

imagined distance between sky

and loved ones who must e'er remain

at intermittent connection

seeking ways to prove

measures of this affection

even thus steadfastly move

as flames that sway at cirrus sighs 

in storm and still we burn

there are no endings nor goodbyes

once skyway's trails are learned

deep within where need takes hold

someone to hold the hand

in waking hours too often cold

spreads vast across the land

amid such times invoke the light

of those we keep within

and even thus transcend the blight

and void we're living in

these ceremonies we enact

to linger at a solemn chord

if only if by means abstract

are we become despair's own lord

arms spread wide and eyes are cast

unto the firmament and more

communing with true love at last

beyond the skyway's door
