Lucid Lady
The sun shone bright that day. It�s flashing rays
highlighting the golden highlights her hair. She stretched briefly and turned
to her companion. He lay beside her, his prone figure sprawled out
ungracefully, his eyes shut, and a content smile on his face.
She couldn�t help the smile on her face. He looked younger right
now, more at ease then she had ever seen him before. Ok so they had rarely been
together when not taking on a planetary government, but still, looking at him
now she could see the boy who was forced to become a man.
The years of war were there too. Not as pronounced now as they were
when he was thinking, worrying, or, most often times, frowning. Gentle creases
as oppose to prominent dents.
He was at peace now. Relaxed, he was relaxed. Not worrying about
tomorrow, but living for today. She knew the feelings. She was experiencing
them too for the first time in a long while.
�You still with me, General?� she asked, leaning over to speak
directly in his ear.
�Only if you stop calling me that,� was the mumbled reply.
She smiled. Yes, they both were experiencing them for the first
time in a long while.
