Relinquish

I delegate the Galaxy to you--
For happenstance has ignored me-
The Cosmos have shed no light this day...
And Infinity 'tis impossible to see;

Secure in your heated arms of no regret...
I give over my chain of command...
Weary-so weary and so very tired-
And in dire need of a helping hand;

You've never let me down in the past-
And the Moon has taken his leave-
The Sun and the Stars are all visiting Mars--
And today its just so hard to believe;

And so i delegate the Galaxy to you--
I know that you will take great care-
Between Earth and sky-its just you and i-
Mingling at last-in sweet serenitys air;

The Essence
