The Light of Love

The Light of Love

As I fumble in the dark passageways of my heart,
A light flickers in the distance.
It brings me warmth and happiness,
And I race toward the light,
But when I reach it....
It leaves me.
Never staying long enough for my feelings of comfort to grow.
Then a different light came one day,
It stayed.
Slowly, the dark passageways grew wide,
Waterfalls flowing into cool pools of water,
Flowers blooming in every shade imaginable.
Then one day,
The light started to grow bigger,
Into a sun.
Its rays caressing me in its golden arms.
Enjoying the new found joy,
I turn to a green meadow,
Where the daisies grow wild,
Where this worlds creator is to be found.
We lay together in the soft grass,
As our hands slowly find each other,
They move as one to the tall cottonwood nearby,
They slowly carve a heart,
Surrounding initials of love,
And they kiss,
The world slowing down that very second.
She giggles,
Her laugh making the whole world brighter.
Then comes a smile,
Illuminating every inch of the soul.
Together,
We stand,
Hand in Hand,
A glow inside us,
Growing together.
The world forever shone brighter from that day forward.
Until came the day of reckoning...
When she doubted her powers,
Questioned the happiness,
And threw it all away.
My now powerless figure sat there and listened,
Cringing with every word,
Then stood up,
On his own,
Something never accomplished before,
And he spoke to her,
Telling her how wonderful she is,
How she gave him the strength he had to stand,
He reached out with a loving hand,
Hoping the maiden would take it,
Too his surprise she ran into his arms.
He carried her back into the world she made,
And as the sun rose again,
The boy felt at home,
The girl felt saved,
And happiness was restored.
He saved her from her own being,
She saved him by creating his world,
But in the end the together creating a pure love.
