A dark halo
purplish light
fringed with gold
like a late summer lightning storm.
A tornado hit my heart
a cold breeze stirred in my soul
icy rain fell deep inside
and I felt it freeze to me
in me
deep within me
and I knew no more
but the sound of your voice.
I could hear it as it echoed
from inside the icy caverns
and a sigh of relief
mixed with anguish
but also delight.
Such a scene
on a mid-September day.
And I found you waiting there
when I returned
when the halo lifted
the rain subsided
the breeze calmed
a sun shone its rays and melted the icy cavern
and it set us both free.
And we came home and made a cup of hot tea and shared it upon the couch while watching classic movies.
�you always did love classic movies.
