Annihilated

As if you had been conceived
by the universe,
not this one, a different one,
much further remote,
prior to the perpetual cycle
which from the first immobile motor
will lead to everything ever yearned for.
I know nothing about you, distant is your light,
as it arrives, narrates the past,
but of your radiance I absorb every drop,
it quenches my thirst and strengthens me,
life’s source show me which turning
to take in order to nullify space between us,
so as to annihilate us towards infinity
making us one sole substance
each time lighter in releasing energy.
Thanks to an unknown principle
you are destined to me,
everything else is emptiness.
