Slowly she made her turn
Reluctant and wavering
Turning her eyes back to him

The hope
Of a romance past
His light glints off her
Spires of diamond and sapphire
Blinding reflections
Of days long forgotten
Refracted into prisms
By the crystal ball futures told
His golden light shining
On her skin
His oasis

The belief
It can all be as it once was
A bright future
Symbiosis
In a perfect partnership
And in this moment
She draws a deep breath
Gazing upon the scattered ruins
Swept away
By the winds of his emotion
And drawn back
By her memories
The eternal tug of gravity
The power to create
The power to destroy
All that is
And all to be left behind

The faith
She holds for him
Precious to his heart
Vital to his existence
He won’t sweep them away
No
Not today
But his light will guide
Her journey through
This field of hurtling stones
Paths
Destined to collide

And where she will rest
Is for her to decide

The heavens illuminate
Brighter still
In her eyes
And she gazes upon him
Once more
And the echo rings
Her sigh

And the heat of his love
Creating the fog
An audible shroud
Where the daggers would hide
Thrusting toward his heart
Finding their prey
While his light was
Showing her the way

And she was
The uncompromising one
Taking what he could offer
The brilliance
That made her eyes shine blue
In the silver reflections
Behind the fog shone through
The voice of the valley walls
Between her hills
The rivers once again run
To babble the words
He longed to hear her breathe

I believe
For what gives him hope
His reason to shine

Faith
Her soul
The water that quenches
The dry burning heart
Beating forever on
For her

And she was…
