First one death,
The Old destroyed.
Reborn anew,
Unto two,
Those two combined,
And with it life.
He has read the holy scriptures,
He's learned the myths abroad.
He's lived and breathed among every star,
Yet still He felt so lost.
He's seen the Cosmic Maw,
He's wandered the Abyss,
He's looked under every grain of sand,
But even still,
Somehow He missed.
Until that night?
A blinding light?
This lady?
Nay?
This Heavenly Light?
She extended her hand,
Her smile like a sun,
and embraced this lost creature,
Who had been born on the run.
She was human and more, Broken and healed.
She was a beautiful unknown in a world of guilt.
She was a treasured sunrise over a blossoming world,
She was the most amazing thing I have ever felt, held or heard.
My philosopher's fire,
My alchemical catalyst.
As if suddenly articulate,
I could embrace those around.
I learned of more than survive and drown;
I learned more of myself.
The groundwork finally laid,
With equal parts Her help,
He finally was here to stay.
I could finally live and play.
First one death,
The Old destroyed.
Reborn anew,
Unto two,
Those two combined,
And with it my life.
