She stands, face upturned against the
Winter rain, arms outspread, beckoning.
Fragile, fearless child,
Opening a delicate, scarred hand
To lonely hearts in the night,
Weaving her strand into the tapestry of life,
Not just weathering the storms, but painting them
When they are at peace once more,
She dances to a rhyme, and dreams all her own,
Come dance, come dance with me
Words of the soul echoed in the depths of girlish eyes,
Laced with an ancient knowledge.
Come release yourself to my arms, let me
Sooth away the pain.
He comes then—
The man. So much like a
The gentle brilliant kiss of a single star in the
Velvet night. Capturing her eyes, her soul with a smile,
An eternal word that shatters the soul and restores it in
A sacred moment.
Hands knowing, guiding—
A creator of beauty and music,
Instead of buildings machines and war.
Come, come to me. Let me fill you with dreams.
Heart made stronger by the wounds it has born,
A beautiful face graced, not with time,
But insight and care,
She surrenders as he yields, swaying together in an ageless
Waltz, a moment so veiled and revealing
That the angels in their glory smile upon it.
And so they go, the man and the girl,
Hand in hand, souls mixed together with
Remembered sorrows and joys half-forgotten
Til this moment.
Wandering together into the rain and dew,
Toward the morning through winding paths
That none but they will ever know.
