Blinded By the Light

I stopped along the way and saw you. You didn’t look. Din, grime and harshness surrounded you. I didn’t see you. Then, love in all it’s joyous complexity blinded us. I touched you. Pain and brashness bled through, washed away like the brightest metal in the forge of life; you emerged. Gallant. Shining. You saw me. I reflected your light. You touched me. Then, as softly as a feathers flight in the wind; You were gone.
