I have seen the glorious

Her face light up tears streaming,

silent in love as I take my place

His eyes bright, trying to hold back

But ending up crying as he places me.

I have seen the mundane,

Sitting on the side of that metal cascade

Watching them wash, and cook and clean

The way they move like they’re one being

Because they are.

I have seen the shameful

The fights, silent indifference

The things that come to kill love

But make it seem like the other is the culprit

Leaving their eyes on me in that unsettling way

Where for the first time I’m afraid of sitting on the side

I have seen the painful..

Loss, betrayal. The frailty of the human heart

Now, just another cascade longing to be filled

Fulfilled by any counterfeit available

But it never works.

I still see Hope resembling my shimmer

Dimmer in their eyes but worth the yes

His love cannot be killed lost or broken

He was.. all the above

He paid it all to redeem humanity and reintroduce then with real love.

A demonstration of how he never leaves, never gets tired, is always knocking, looking for his beloved, even when she is broken, when she wants to hide he imperfections.

When I rest on their fingers lifted high to him. I know I’m safe.
