Out of the Dark Woods

You caught me in the selva oscura of thought

As Winter began to paint the streets depressed

Grey and ash white- You took the frozen crux of me

And brought it to the fire of your exquisite kindness

My inner eyes fluttered open wide as if seeing

The very first dawn, I took your shapely hand in mine

And placed a gentle blossom of confidence in it

Our souls smiled at each other and embraced

Pulling us down the road of unknown endings.

I love how you move from meeting... to walking into the unknown eternity...really a true gem of reality intertwined ..hand in hand...your "exquisite kindness" causing a reciprocal response of "a gentle blossom of confidence"
