The long, blinding rays shocked him. 

His hands glowed silver, reaching for her brilliance.

She peered into the darkness, aching for his touch,

They gazed across 

the red-orange sky, raw with 

heartache.

They reach for one another, 

only to find

the space between. 

Ribbons of light unfurl, drawing them 

together. 

They are alone

but,

even with the darkness between, 

they find their eyes 

to see, once again, 

the light.
