she runs with a laugh

golden hair flying

and her dress a disarray

ducking through trees

skipping over rocks and roots

she looks back for her Love

longing to share

this wild world

of mystifying dreams

and etching enchantments

where her soul flies free

singing in the wind

and painting with the stars

a world untouched

by the woes of the Others

she sees him at last

picking his way

through the uneven terrain

thorough and calculating

lest he might fall

a world he does not trust

unkept and wild

a place without order

or a tidy routine

but the One he loves

waits just up ahead

and so he continues

the strength of his love

prevailing all else

reunited at last

he looks in her eyes

and for the very first time

he makes out stars and suns

rivers and deserts

he sees the world in her eyes

and her in the world

as he looks around anew

he sees the Truth

the wild beauty around him

is mirrored within

for all are One
