You are bone melting –
Cell reviving, courage inspiring.
You are time; endless
Adventure, continuous
Trouble ensnared,
Mischief? Managed.
You are the weathered traveler –
S c o r c h i n g worn
Icy knowledge,
Wars delivered.
You are perfunctory happiness –
Inverted sadness.
You are light in our dark,
Love in spite;
Carry hope over death.
Planet shattering eyes
Star snaring hearts
Nebula fingertips
With a black hole sinking smirk.
You came when we needed you
When my galaxy was afloat
Savior of my f a t e
Gifting spontaneity to me
When the world was making me
Old.
Doctor, my Doctor –
You will never be alone.
Not even when
The sun is old and grown.
I want you safe, from those false Gods.
You will be thought of,
Remembered,
And when it comes time –
Saved.
