she is the entire constellation 

i can’t remember a time when she wasn’t here
here, carried in my body,
here, buried in the ground,
here, resting softly in the depths of my soul

because there has never been a time
when she wasn’t here

God forms us in some kind of eternal space,
ever-existing even before existing,
in the orbit cloaking the world we live in

perhaps that is why we view the sky
with such awe and magnificent connection

although she is not a star to me
to me, she is the entire constellation
