The Meeting

The sun setting peacefully in the west

My eyes following the Cascades 
The fog lying soft like a blanket
The tall conifers swaying in the wind
~
My sun kissed face watching the horizon 
My weary eyes watching carefully along the edges of forever 
Finding you 
Finding me
~
We walk reaching for each other
Climbing to new heights of our souls
Extended arms grasping more than flesh
Holding close to the empty space like collapsing stars
~
Brighter waves than the sun
Starting with a smile and kiss
Eyes open as wide as fresh wounds
Souls exposed letting go of pains held deep 
~
Finding solace in warm hands
Holding love in unspoken words
A kiss becomes more than a kiss
While a new beginning unwinds ahead
