While shadows dance in the sun
Celebrating eternal life
I am reminded of my own mortality more than ever
I know that we will leave this place one day
Heart heavy in my chest as I forget how to breath as I look you in the eye
Those enthralling orbs
The window to your soul
And I see all that matters
All that I need
Warmth circles me
As we gaze
My breath catches as my muscles freeze
I’m captured
Entrapped by your glow
We circle
Refusing to look away we stay trapped
Trapped for eternity
The hands of time tick on without our approval
The unavoidable will happen
and our shells will be lost
I take comfort though in the knowledge that our shadows
Our shadows will dance
waltz
forever celebrating
The eternal life
Of our
Love
