Defiant Enigma

I long to feel her hand in mine again
To touch her skin and feel my heart beat thrill
As senses ignore the watery chill
While slowly walking through the summer’s rain
For love has grown from depths of darkest pain
Far gentler than any sedating pill
Is the hand that leads me to climb this hill
To take a chance on loving once again.
Mystery beyond the horizon lies 
As history destiny now defies
