The hymn of communion

I will stand by
Starry eyed and expectant
And sprinkle on the black you paint
A million twinkling stars.

I won’t blink until you paint,
Half a million more
And make them rain below
As downy flakes of snow

I refuse to let the moment dive
Into the cold oblivion
Until we weave the strings
Into a silken magic wing.

I muse and wonder
About my otherness that’s yonder
Would a solemn hymn do?
To make it co-believe communion.

- Pushkar Gunjan
