Summary: John comes out of the cold.


In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer


Rekindled


An orange-fleeced stranger demanding the moon and the stars under a hundred feet of ice stirs the ashes to reveal the tiniest ember of wonder buried deep. An oxygenated challenge from a general leaves behind a glowing edge of self-respect a few degrees warmer under a coat of grey.

The blunt-worded gauntlet of a colonel fans the tenacious coal hot enough to blister with resolve and responsibility. Brown eyes and an alien smile waft friendship into sparks brightening the darkness.

Trust and a blue-eyed grin fuel the lick of flame.

Courage steps into the black and sets a heart blazing.

This one has been sitting and tormenting me since I woke up three weeks ago and had to write it down. It's not done, it is an ending without a beginning, mocking the summary but I needed to post it so it would stop taunting me. Perhaps I'll find the rest of the story somewhere out there.

To Balance Souls


***


All senses retreat with single exception. Lips carry vows to treasured skin, breath warming sovereign chill as silent words honor. Faint smile accepts and returns the pledge as slack limbs are gathered gently into their final home. Devotion aligns itself to worship the curve of spine, flank, and fragile skull containing all that is most precious. Heart behind heart, the shared rhythm stumbles and then halts, the matched breaths soft susurrations into nothing, and two into one are none.

A crystal coffin leaves Earth's bounds and the welcoming sun later burns immeasurably brighter in celebration of eternally balanced souls.
