He Doesn't Let Go
By: Mariel


IX

Few question who leads who to where...

This has happened before and will happen again.

They lead with their minds and follow their hearts. It is true, it is honest, it is ageless.

This is their dance, its rhythms begun when the gods were young, its tune ancient and endless.

She tilts her head back, lost in the moment, lost in him. She wonders why now, why here, and then wonders no longer. He is here; she is with him.

This is as it was and as it will be.

He loosens his hold on her, but doesn't let go...
