Her eyes sparkled

like jasmine,

and her hair shone in the radiant light

as if she was more than his leader, his 'mother'

She was like the first breath of Spring,

otherwise unknown,

full of a new kind of vibrancy

Hestia was her name

that shone like gentle campfires,

and awed something deep in his throat

that got caught so often by her

He loved her

more than he'd have ever guessed.
