The Hero

A perfect mix of extremes.

Knowledge, curiosity, and criticism controlled by will.

Eyes of a witness.

Eyes of experience.

Eyes of wisdom.

Confidence side by side with strength.

The words of a wise man, with the voice of an angel.

He is a warrior; He is a hero.

He is one to be followed, as well as one to be envied.

How such a man ever came to have so much faith in me, is still a mystery.

For I was but a shadow in a room full of trees.

But he reached for me...

My grip was weak at first.

I let his hand slip.

He reached once more, and I grasped his hand with every bit of strength I had.

I knew this would be my last chance.

He smiled as our fingers laced together.

My hero kissed my hand, and held it firmly, 

as we walked out into the horizon.

A journey, that will last until the end of our time.

Love, that will live longer than time itself.
