Work Text:
Kyoshi,
In the depths of the night sky you call,
Always there,
Pillars of light in the sky.
Can you see them too?
North chill on my skin,
alone,
wistful for what once was.
That which may forever be gone?
Nothing could prepare for this challenge.
An ocean apart, connected by dancing spirits of color above.
An ocean apart,
connected.
Kyoshi, My Love,
The girl I gave everything for,
Gave everything to,
Yet, as though taken for granted.
Are you there?
Are you listening?
Kyoshi,
My Love
You might hear my cries,
sobbing in the night.
My self pity is my shame,
Robes of dishonour,
Burdened to wear.
This is not strength.
Trying to be strong.
This is love.
Trying not to hurt.
Kyoshi,
My Rock,
Nothing can soothe,
dreams of dirt,
dreams of famine,
dreams of your suffering,
I cry,
For you,
Selfish.
I am sorry.
The past is gone,
immutable history.
Regret.
Kyoshi!
I'm tired.
time drags.
I feel empty
lost
I need you
lost
I wish you were here
lost
I could give you everything
love
And I gaze upward again,
Dancing spirits of color,
trailing over the horizon to meet you,
And I wish.
And I hope.
And I love.
Are you listening?
Yours,
Rangi
