As the light dims…

The adventure we created

Slowly fades away.

Oh life…it is so dear;

A revere, a beautiful union

Layering on bold strokes

Brushed across a canvas

Of our exploration,

Still lingering wet with

Oil based ochre

And cerulean blue;

Spiriting our ambitions

Oxygen inflamed billows

Like raging wildfires.

You, loving me;

Me, loving you.

Just faded glory

creeping along the border

of what could be.

But there in the center,

Like every new day

A nuclear fusion bursts forth.

Pushing our sails further out

Into an unexplored space,

Where hydrogen converts

Into lofty helium aspirations,

As we drift in and out of trust…

But always still finding us.
