The setting sun brushed through her hair.. turning the dark curls to bursts of red highlights... Her shoulders wide... her stance strong, she stood there....Her hand impatiently brushed away the curls that clung to her moist full lips..
As the sun finally slipped behind the hills and the last of the dying rays were snuffed out by the night.. and the moon took over...... she slowly crumpled to her knees there on the hill...
Watching her... the transformation of the strong woman who stood against the elements during the day..... to the beaten creature that now hunched onto the ground like the pain was too much to humanly take...
Her dark hair curtained her face until she slowly raised her face to the moonbeams..
Her memories take her back, back to when she was shattered, broken, by a man...
Never thinking... never knowing, that she could be repaired again... The pain so deep, the heartache so strong.. the total devestation of her world, so savagely ripped apart..
But then there came a faceless person, into her life... One that saw her for what she'd been through. One that wanted to help her...taking her hand as she objected. telling him that no that wasn' what she wanted... she was afraid, she was scared. for him to go away...
The man then beckoned her from the shadows of the dark world that she lived in.. slowly, patiently holding out his hand to her ... developing trust, his eyes so honest.. the tawny color of them.. seeing so much, him with his life experiences his hurt also deep within his soul... reaching out to her...
Slowly, she puts her hand in his ...and he graps it...helping her up...
The dawn breaks, and as the sun crests the hill you now see not only her at the top of the hill guarding... but also him.... holding her hand... facing her... staring deep into her eyes... caressing her face, the curls that she would push impatiently from her lips, he fingered loving the texture of... his lips slowly descend... slowly, and when they touch.. they both feel the electricity from it...
Leaning back and looking up into his eyes questioningly, and his eyes confindent and smiling he slowly cups her face in his gentle hands.. and kisses her again.. The feeling of total completion washes over her as his soft warm lips move over hears..
Waking her shattered senses, his thumbs caressing her cheeks as he kisses her... so softly ...as if treating her like spun gold.. Her insides quake at the new and scary feelings.. slowly he leans back and searches her eyes... staring intently, deeply.. then he softly whispers as the sun moves up into the new morning...
A heart that is slowly on the mend... a Heart that he's helping put back to what it once was.. .. A heart that slowly comes alive as they stand there together and guard the valley...
The small animals poking their noses out of their tranquel homes.....
as dawn slowly wakes the sky... the fingers of colors of a new day slowly thread across the sky... chasing away the shadows of the night...
They see the blended shadow.. smile and know that the woman that they once saw walk away after her spirit seperated from her soul..walking away from everything.....
Is now slowly on the mend with a very special man... and for this they are happy..
as they go back to their own families and rejoice in knowing that love can be found again after such devestation...
