There was a moment... a time and a place and a turning
and disentangling of limbs. We have come together to find something, the loss
of which would change us. After braving fear of not finding that spark, we
found and spent it together.
After looking into your eyes and seeing some far away
change, a lifting and swing of weight, the spark now an ember, you turn pulling
my arm around to cradle you. The press of your back to my chest, our fingers
entwined.
I can see the corner of your eye, your cheek, the line of
your jaw.. Your head tilted forward... the grace of the back of your neck
exposed... ears partially hidden by the soft waves of your hair...
I am a little afraid still - knowing the fragility of our
hearts like blown crystal glass... I bend to place a kiss on you shoulder, my
nose resting in the hollow where shoulder and neck meet. And here, in this
moment, holding you tight, I want you to
feel all that I am feeling... A moment held here with us still and scared...
And in that moment a breath and another
turning toward hope.
Our ember glowing between us and the soft sound of your
voice...
