Ever assured,
love drew
him
into her
restless flame,
as they strolled
pleasantly together
for a while, arm in arm,
on rain-soaked sidewalks,
as a waning pall of rainfall
formed vaporous halos ‘round
the coruscation of streetlights…
.
And at first they
shared secrets softly
in hushed tones as
a glow of lamplight
sent them searching
for songs unsung,
for wonders unseen,
for truths unspoken,
in eager whispers,
two yielding hearts
soaring together on
undulant wings….
.
And they spoke
earnestly for a while,
of life, and of eternity,
as a vision came
up before their eyes,
of that blessed moment
when graves would become gardens,
as those asleep in Truth, or still alive,
would be caught up into a Great Light….
.
Ever assured,
Agape drew
their hearts deeper,
as they pressed on through
evening’s radiant mist, over
reflections, and fields of silhouette,
in contentment, as the heart of two flames
grew stronger together than apart….
