a blush
of light
fell from the sky
highlighting
the trees
casting
a gentle shadow
on the path below
accenting
the foot steps
that were ambled
long ago

there were 2
the conversation
muted
for the fauna
was undisturbed
purely
a passage
in seek of beauty
a course
with no set direction

this
was not to be
a parting of ways
merely
a joint understanding
that
one day
the road would turn
1 would be bound
by beauty
and
1 would drift
away

their footstep
would stay
as a bond
their hearts
tied by a promise
their souls
ever connected

a blush of light
fell upon two
