neither of us understanding or remembering where we had stepped off the path. In bitter anger, we fought, arguing about anything, but nothing important enough to really argue about. Distracted by seeming hopelessness, we fall deeper into darkness so dim that we lost sight of each other. Stumbling alone until we see a bright light ahead, and I run towards it in desperation. It is a jewel of such splendor that I almost have to shield my eyes from the power emanating from it, but still I am drawn nearer. I pick up the glowing object, holding it near to my heart out of instinct, not knowing why, and I feel a warmth spread through my body. I turn to you, and I am startled by the beauty I see there. The brilliance of this light shines on your face in such an amazing way that I don’t understand how I could have forgotten your beauty. I hold the light, and I feel the power of it flow through me, and as it pulses into my heart, I feel complete again. When I hand it to you, I can see the light shine through your eyes as the brilliance spreads through your body, but you are scared. You hand it back to me because you don’t know what will happen this time. I only want to share it with you, the amazing love that the light has reminded me I have for you. |
