Unity

You,
This is where you begin to take shape; 
spinning and churning in a world of pre-existing chaos -
dancing and frolicking through the ever-ethereal muck of summer rubbish.
stripped of vanity -
finally sparing herself from the stress of it all;
fuck the heels. fuck the eyeliner and the highlighter. 
 
He found light and love within her woodlyn spirit - sans paint and drape.
He made a refuge of her sweet and careful soul.
He placed arms around her healing, opening heart, 
And he said: 
 
we CAN choose peace.
we DO choose peace. 
    
they held hands and walked through the woods
 
"PEACE is the one thing that no one can take away from us. we actively choose our peace each minute, in each moment."
 
"Because you see it this way, I have no choice but to love you forever."
 
they walked into the water and floated down the ravine
To no one they would speak of what they'd seen.
