I Found Her
I Found Her, And I am dumbfounded. My smile is affected by the glow of Her Soul. She Found me, And she was blindsided. Her eyes are playing tricks on her, Or so I believe: How can she fall for a knight without a steed? I was climbing up a ladder Out of an hopeless abyss When I fell again. But not into the same aperture, Instead a half-opened casement lighted from the other side. Only when I fell into its rapture did I realize the glow came from inside. The glow is mine. We found each other Because her story is similar. She was climbing down a ladder, slowly, But surely into glowing embers. Fire, but not those of desire, Of defeat. Of deceit. She was done wasting energy. She wanted to desiccate herself of it once and for all. Hope was fleeting but not gone. Given Up, but not yet In, Still Calm despite the Wind. The Girl didn’t burn As she took the first step off the ladder. Her foot didn’t touch the ground - a light had pulled her back up. A rapture.
