Captured
      by Sarah Elizabeth Hume


    I am rain on river water
    that was taken from the sea.
    I am crystallized salt,
    I am fluid,
    and the sheer veil of mist that is left behind.

    That is what has become of me
    after my candle has entered the night sky.
    There it is lost among the waves
    of cold silver stars.

    You are to find me no longer.
    My flame is stolen
    and sewn amongst the darkness.
    
    I am captured.

    Your love has torn my soul from flesh
    and my spirit has crossed without me.
