Blue

She was giving and kind. They worshipped her like a Saint. She was of the earth and moved about the land like a breath of fresh air.

They said he was the Devil. His was a craggy, worn exterior. People avoided him. He was hard they observed – probably cruel. He was fire and ice. He’d burn you if he could.

No one knew for certain how they’d come upon one another but they were concerned for she epitomized all that was good – but he was evil.

It was pure magnetism that pulled them together. Opposites attract or so it is said.

It so happened that she’d heard a sorrowful sound and followed it until she happened upon him. When she’d found him, he was like a pool of iced over water cracking, groaning and crying for help. He craved warmth, she could see it. The magic happened when she looked beyond his icy blue depths and into his soul.

To him, she was like a downy white quilt that wrapped his hardened exterior in warmth. When he looked into the darkness beyond her eyes – that is when he melted.

She held out her hand and he readily took it. Holding her tightly in his arms, he waltzed with her over the tapestry of the earth to music of the Universe.

With their spirits entwined, they balanced and danced, bringing the world alive with beauty.

And, the people worried over the change in him. It seemed unnatural.

Now, consensus is that she’s a Sorceress – wicked.

While he…, he is merely a man who has fallen under her spell.

‘But not all opinions are equal,’ she reasoned. And, she did not hold the opinions of others.

She had awareness; an awareness that the others did not; for she knew what had happened when the eyes of fire and ice met the eyes of earth and air – two souls collided and became one.

‘Eyes are the windows to the soul,’ she knew and she knew the power of ‘love.’

She held the opinion, ‘When souls unite in balance and beauty, love is neither wicked nor evil. Love is a gift found within the eyes for any who dare look into their depths.’
