How do I follow you?

You are a fraction,

you dip in and out,

erupt and diminish,

dust collects on my eyelids

as you race to the finish.

You are a float tipped wave,

wanting only to crash,

a bitter end as you flood the rocks.

In each tiny death, you are renewed,

rising phoenix like and magnificent.

You are a flickering light,

too beautiful to survive,

but your light lets me learn nothing.

How do I follow you?

You are a fraction,

you dip in and out,

erupt and diminish,

dust collects on my eyelids

as you race to the finish.
