I was on my way to Sam's to tell him I was leaving.
Candles were burning in the room. A string of lights ran along the wall.

From morning light and silence they were spun,
Two unseen souls awakened with the dawn.
Tessa's was born beneath the rising sun,
Where tenderness could hear fear whisper on.
From gentle stars and clouds that drifted slow,
From timid words that scarcely found a voice,
From all the dreams that never learned to grow,
Her soul was clear, yet frightened to rejoice.
Yet something made their separate hearts agree
And turned what once was two into a whole:
They both were born from one spring's melody,
Where love became the language of the soul.
They intertwined until no line remained,
Like rivers joined, forever unrestrained.
From light and wind, from whispers in the night,
Their souls became one boundless stream of light.
