Simple I and Compound I Valentine

How thinly can I spread myself
Like a film around the earth
I try to hold it all like a bubble
On the fingertip of my thoughts
Like a cosmonaut in a sattelite
The way the brain orbits the heart
Which is not intimidated by greatness
But can accommodate it all
Out there at the periphery
There's a beach where planetary
Waves of light break through
The roiling sands of stars
And we far out at sea
And we calling from the shores
