perform a pas de deux

Thoughts towered.

Family felt soured.

~ ~ ~

But reality spoke,

"Life is altered,

but full of beauty yet."

~ ~ ~

Heartbeat, pulse, and breath

aligned in contentment,

instead of resentment.

~ ~ ~

Present waited

for Future's caress.

~ ~ ~

He loved his lonely silhouette,

simply because he knew...

that one day...

he would perform a pas de deux

with Future's comforting grace.

~ ~ ~

When time acquiesced,

he'd be pressed deep

into another soul,

molded into the gold

that he finally knew that he was.
