A hollow hallway
An empty path in the woods
The hidden tunnels of a cave
The labyrinth of the mind
All lead down the same path
The path that is to bring them together
He at one end of the path waiting
She at the other contemplating
The scene is the same
She waits for reason
He waits for her
The darkness that hides the secrets
The unknown of the travel down the pathways
Keep her from going to him
She walks down part of the way
But turns back and runs to her starting point
He sits on a stone waiting for her
Calmly there in the darkness
The moon illuminating his face
The small fire in front of him flickers about
Showing parts of his body
She sits under an old tree
Her knees to her chest
Putting her head down hiding her face
The moon shining through the leaves
Become patches of light on her body
His hand reaches down for hers
A light smile on his face
Taking his hand they walk down the path together
