Hope rises
yet again,
banishing
the barren tundra
of fear
and doubt
feeding on
this plane
dividing
Us.

She is
forever fixed
within, though fades
as Each spins apart
from the Other
clinging to nothing
except Our
passion and longing.

We must close
our I’s
and briefly

pause...

Breathe in Her
soothing warmth
deeply and swing
safely within
Her arms.

She will
catch Each
and hold Us tight
as We fall
deeper into One,
smiling away
Our tears and years
Together.
