Elegy

All-passionate.

We say all-powerful, all-knowing,
(and fancier words for that)
but you, you were omnipassionate,
all the feeling in us unleashed,
untempered, and unafraid.

And the cosmos
came to realize this,
fell in love, was denied,
and couldn't quite cope.

The unrequited universe
convulsed and writhed 
over (the bigness of)
your steadfast pulse
and unrelenting hope.
