 **Starset**

He nuzzled softly against her russet pelt, sorrow he'd  
lost her forever slowly abating...  
her eyes glinted bright and sharp contrast against the  
starset black canvas that was their home now...

The waves came often, and as they washed against the  
shore she felt the same restless longing they seemed  
to encompass  
to be the ocean meant throwing away part of yourself  
for a larger purpose  
something noble

To be lost in the depths of longitudinal pull; the  
moon softly guiding you  
back  
forth  
back  
diaphanous and translucent   
milky,  
white  
"why so sad little one?"   
she looked up startled

It was the moon   
beckoning her with its jaded brilliance  
indifferent warmth  
she got up on her hind paws  
was already in a dash  
down to the shore  
she twirled and spun, 

her tail tracing patterns in the ether

She danced her song and howled the ancient spells  
her paws kicking up stardust  
splash'd against fur
