So, any time I get an idea for something I write it in my Notes app. I was re-reading some old entries and found this poem which I had written around the end of last year, but I didn't like it much because it didn't really mean anything to me back then. I guess somewhere between then and now, this poem found its meaning and I've decided it's going to be the first of a three part series.
I hope you enjoy this entry and, as always, be sure to let me know what you think by leaving a like, comment or reaching me on Instagram @cingblogs or @_c.mara!

I always thought poems had to be long
But your brief presence in my life has shown me otherwise
A small burst of light
That brightened my atmosphere
And woke my moons
And stirred my stars
One unsuspecting night two universes became one
And I was certain yours was the next planet I would orbit
How could I know one singular meteor
So wide and unavoidable
Could spin us in such opposing directions
Or
I tentatively wonder
Set us back to our rightful course?
From the briefest collision
A whole universe has changed
So I will keep this short
As fleeting as your stay
But hopefully just memorable enough
You will want to enter the pull of my orbit once more
Because I thought poems had to be long
Did this feel complete to you?
