Mirror

Upon this darkened night
                        she sits motionless
                        His silent fears reaching out
                        brushing her untouched cheeks

                        Clouds mirroring
                        in the depths of the churning waters
                        Confusion and frustration
                        she desperately wishes for sleep

                        Mysterious waves of change
                        too unnoticed by most
                        catch the corner of her sigh
                        and tease unrelenting distraction

                        She aimlessly sifts sand
                        through her empty fingers
                        Noticing someone's hands missing
                        a constant, painful dissatisfaction

                        Curling her knees to her chest
                        welcoming the gentle breeze
                        missing his gaze while closing her eyes
                        she rests her weary mind

                        Drifting off to a sea of chance
                        somewhat calming like the water
                        Dreams come quickly to help her hope
                        for pieces of her soul she longs to find

                        Upon this stormy night
                        he lies restless
                        Her silent tears escaping
                        finding comfort in his waiting arms

                        Rain mirroring
                        whispers outside of his window
                        Determination and strength
                        he hears her heart calling - his silent alarm

                        A lifetime of steps throughout time
                        stoppping only to feel her breath
                        His aching heart the only guide
                        to release her from the lonley years

                        A thousand wishes upon candles
                        stopping only to feel his touch
                        Her trusting heart the only guide
                        to awaken her from the falling tears

                        Upon this moonlit night
                        they embrace with such an eternity
                        Kissing with a passion more powerful
                        than the drowning waves that surround them

                        Peace rippling
                        in the abyss that lay beneath their hope
                        Prayers and desires answered forever
                        She silently thanks the world for him
