SUBMERGE







The sunlit sky is blue
and this is how I perceive you
as we revolve in the arena... our orbits
never allowing us to touch 
this is how it has always been
we encompass each others energy
celestially
rhythmically
diametrically
as you slowly sink into the tangent arc
(of my mystery)
gravity
pushing to pull me
Scattering and absorption
are major causes
of the attenuation
of radiation

too hot to handle!
are you ready for this?




Saturating my atmosphere with~in~visible light
you slowly submerge




a phenomena begins to transpire
in the ensuing darkness
where you appear as Earth's shadow...
...I become infused with(in) you




the trouble with being inside Earths shadow  is...
to the uninitiated eye
you go unrecognized
but it is in the twilight hour
that I can be with you
just below the horizon, the majestic blue
I have come to know as you
takes on a completely different hue
colors combine
yours and mine
 

illuminated by the setting sun
you have slipped into a cloak of invisibility
 less clearly distinguished
is the boundary between 
your shadow and me 

Eventually...

Earth's shadow back scatters
as graduating wavelengths morph
optically
atmospherically
geometrically 
creating a new horizon

hanging on the precipice of the afterglow
we dissolve 
to become one with the night
beyond the me,
where you will be
