Within the space
Where you started to
Breathe
Emerged a soft silence
Your ears had never 
Heard

Unsure what it was like
To be free from the 
Noise
Your mind sought to fill
This void in between

And fight fight
Into the dark night
The thoughts came
Like arrows
To tear you from the
Calm

But prepared for the 
Charge
You readied your
Sword
Knowing you needed
This peace from the 
Pause

But just as you lunged 
To land your first blow
You gasped out to
Breathe 
And find air once again

And much to the
Surprise 
Of the mind made to maim
Came the heart made
To hold
The silence back to
Claim

What your ears knew 
As truth
The way from the pain
The journey back to 
Love 
Within the space once
​Again
 

I awoke
Drenched in disbelief
From the dream deferred
Startled and stuttering
I searched for something
A little more real

For unearthed in my slumber
Was the reflection of your being
Rippling its way gently 
Onto the shore of my soul

"It cannot be," I cried
"There's just no way"
"This does not exist"

And resist I did
As you started crashing
Your waves, falling as fate
Where free will thought
It was destined to be 

Until the 100th wave
When my self went shattering
Succumbing to sand
A crystallization of truth
From the shards of me

For when eternity goes crumbling
A space is left 
For the flourishing of faith
The opposite of all
We think we can see

Yet despite the depth
Of our defying connection
And the new found belief
In the twinning of our flames

There never once was
A making for each other
For instead, in each other
Had we always been made

Cliche is only cliche
If you call it so
Love is only love
If you give it so
Peace is only peace
If you feel it so
Truth is only truth
If you let it go
So why cling to the belief
That we are just captives to a
World
Telling you your Love is cliche
And there's no such thing as
Peace
When with a single breath
You
Me
He
She
We
Can dare to believe
​And make it so
