The Sun and The Stars
He looks at her and sees the stars
He sees physics and math and words too large for him to focus on what they mean
He looks at her and sees the stars
He sees intensely shining, burning, celestial bodies
He looks at her and sees the stars
He sees the light that keeps him going no matter how dire the circumstances
He looks at he and sees the stars
He sees his universe with wondrous amazement and childlike excitement
He looks at her and sees the stars
He sees his life spent chasing enemies and ghosts with a newfound appreciation for what it'll mean when they are gone
He looks at her and sees the stars explode in a cascade of blinding hot supernovas that destroy his old life and create it anew
He looks at her and sees…His Home.
She looks at him and sees the sun
One star among many with a brightness that stands and takes command
She looks at him and sees the sun
The source of strength and power that holds each body in perfect orbit around it
She looks at him and sees the sun
An anchor, a constant, an unwavering beacon of light in blinding darkness
She looks at him and sees the sun
The fire she is drawn to like a moth to a flame intensely warming her body and soul
She looks at him and sees the sun
A force that drives away the deep, dark, depressing demons that assault her in the night
She looks at him and sees the sun
Unchanging before the naked eye but stirring beneath the surface and flaring out in beautiful displays of unuttered passion and love
She looks at him and knows…She Is Home.
