Only You My Stella

Only You My Stella None keepeth trace of me, nor sign nor name, No wind remembers, no fire holds my breath. I am as one who never walked this earth, A vanishing mist upon the nameless vast. Time hath forsaken me, the hours pass blind, A phantom lost in silence, rootless, void. Here, there, yet nowhere—shadow without home, Alive, yet in the hollow dark consumed, A cry dissolved within the womb of night. I am, yet am I not? A hush remains, A wandering ember on the formless sea. Years have erased me, left no dust nor word, And none have called, and none have dared to mourn— Save thee, O Stella, whispering in my soul.
