I thought I saw your glow once
Then as a storm rages
The remnants of your shadow were swept away it seemed
But only to be concealed momentarily
The reflected light of the moons of our ever-united minds cleared to reveal the truth
As does the infinite rising sun
Truths were reflected
Refracted
Opinions distorted
Distracted
My newly opened eyes
Although fresh witnesses to the cruelty of reality and surrealityΒ Β 
Also enabled falsities and facades to be filtered
Raindrops evaporated
I tried to pull you from your self inflicted puddle of insecurity
Your ocean of self preservation
Truth is
Self containment is but a fantasy
I see you again
I can once again sense the warmth of your hands
Finally clutching the ropes I lay before you
I see you again
Rising from the rocks once disguised as comfort
I see your mortality
Shattered looking glasses are sharp to our scarred surfaces
But the cool breeze beyond soaks through our pores
We are reborn
Yes
We are mortal
But through realization
We are immortal.
