I wrote this originally as just a few words, pretty splattered on the page.

Some guys on the Sara Douglass BB helped me fine tune it. I think it works now.

 

Then the Light Shone

 

He rose above me sometime on Tuesday.

The hour immaterial, the act absolute.

A striking bell in each soul, two halves asunder once more.

His heart soared on white-feathered wings,

Leaving mine inconsolably bereft.

Just lifted his eyes to the heavens,

Stretched out his arms and left.

 

Later I remember wondering,

"If I am here, where is he?"

Then the light shone.

He was already gone.
