The warmth of his embrace soaked into me, a powerful charm against the dark things.

What I do . . . the path I tread . . . it brings some choices that test me hard.

I wonder how it takes you, that moment when everything turns to shadows. - Somerled.

He and I…we share a bond. Not love, exactly. It goes beyond that. He is mine as surely as sun follows moon across the sky. Mine before ever I knew he existed. Mine until death and beyond.

Even in that time of utter darkness, somewhere deep inside me the memory of love and goodness had stayed alive.

As for me, I had found love, and that was a gift worth suffering for.

Breath of the winds; dancing flame; peace of the earth; song of the waves.
