The river spoke to me. I fell under the spell Cast by his flowing voice. A great rain ravaged the land, Tearing at the innocent trees, The skies mourned, Crying even when I finally arrived At a sunbathed glade, The eye of the storm, Where everything Stood still. A god slept next to me. The shadows of his face Shifted with a graceful fluidity. His skin was like silk, Rippling in the breeze, Perfect and serene. If he opened his eyes, I imagined they'd be Priceless pearls From the depths of the sea. I watched him sleep. Tiny puffs of air, A manifestation of his Once-divine breath, Escaped his weary lips. His chest rose and fell, The vein in his neck throbbed angrily, The blood inside Surging against a dam. I watched you sleep. A wisp of air ruffled your Indecisive hair, The candle in the sky Moved again, Outlined the features of your Now-mortal face, Once lovely. You roll over. I watch your back, and Before long, I breathe with you. In and out, In and out, In and out... Until, at last, we converge.
