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.
