Return of a Dream

By: Foenfyre


---

The song on her lips lifts itself, heaving, into the night black sky;

-----All of her heart laid bare and the cloud which looms from all sides.

---

And then, a river of red snakes its way through a stream of purpose-filled wind;

-----Silver blade clasped to his back, and peace contained within a single smile.

---

Sea of radiance the color white, flutters and hold its own 'gainst the brush of air;

-----It softens his footsteps as he comes closer.

---

Her companions at her back gasp aloud, a chorus of relief and hope;

-----All are unsure of this vision, but what else can they lose this night?

---

She yearns to go forward, to leap and to bound, but is afraid if she steps forward,

-----Orpheus's curse will take hold;

-----So she takes to asking a question, a tremulous voice molded into confidence:

-----'Why have you come?' Please don't say, her eyes, shining in the moonlight, beg.

---

She will shatter if this is false, of that she has no doubt.

---

She does not want an answer, and she hopes that this half-dream sees, but with that

-----Beautiful smile on his face, he answers her true:

----'I made a promise.' To you, his dancing green eyes say;

-----Their light shining brighter than in those memories that had been her closest-held.

---

She sucked in a breath, drowning in emotion, bereft any other sense.

-----And her heart beats too quickly for it all to be real;

-----Its thumping rhythm set the pace which she follows forward;

-----And soon enough she's an arrow of tears finding her way back to her beloved.

---

And his arms find their way around her.
