Into the Night


~***~***~


I can feel you, even now
still a part of me
Still holding my shattered pieces
In careful, gentle hands
Where we can reassemble my heart
Into something that will beat again
Together, as we use to do all things

For something held this long,
Such trials are expected
We have been weighed by the ages
Judged by our ancestors
And found worthy of this gift,
That through heartache endured
Forgiveness builds and trust is restored

It is in layers that love is built,
Not idle daydreams built in the clouds.
Layers that strengthen us, together and apart
Where experience has taught us to dance
(To our very own song)
Slow, strong and steady, into the night.

You hold me, Beloved, hold my heart
Even now, still unfinished, still flawed
You handle me with such care
Cherished, protected, all through the night
Where I am sometimes still haunted
(still hunted)
It is these moments that strengthen me
And allow me to believe in magic
