An undiscovered sun
in lifeless space,
except for dazzling lights
like satellites above
elysian fields of gold wheat.

Ancient spirits number
more than all the grains of
sand in all the cosmos,
but by the breath of God
they find each other--souls
brilliantly colored
illumined by diffused
rays of pure tenderness.

It was here.
Light filtered
by the will of God that
two immortal spirits
joined in a temporal
life before assuming

us

disengaged from the
undiscovered sun's pull.

Was that you?

So familiar the
first time I beheld you
that I was certain in
Another life

two souls

met in Elysium.
lights pulsating in an
Elliptical orbit
around the heart of God.

NELSON TRIAS is an English Literature and writing major who is seeking a certification to teach Secondary English. He grew up poor and never realized it until a few years ago because his parents provided as best they could for six children. While growing up he started playing the trumpet hoping to play the Copacabana like his dad. He still plays for fun. He loves writing poetry and his inspirations come from observing the human condition. He recently started writing romantic poetry do to meeting a wonderful and mystical woman who dabs in water colors and appreciates his craft. His writing is therapy and reflections of a sliver of his daily life.
