Shining Armor
a light shown into the darkness
his spirit warm and comforting
removing slowly the chill that had
stationed itself within her heart
she was doubtful at first
that anyone would truly
take the time to see all
of who she was
she wasn't easy
though she tried not to scare
away, the only man who honestly
listened to her heart
they had met each others match
with humor and intelligence
thinking it crazy how they had
only met, here and now
he brought so much joy
to her small world,
laughter filled her lungs for hours
when they chatted and listened intently
she wasn't one to believe
in fairy tales, or even true love
but over the course of several months,
he proved her wrong over and over
so, she leapt into the deep of it
taking and giving all she could
she hadn't realized how much
she had been starved of it
they were on their journey
of life and love
creating memories
everyday, no end in sight
to their happiness
but, as life has always shown her
all things can be ripped away
no matter how hard you try to hold on
and just like that, he was gone
he lay before her in death
so peacefully, and it all just seemed
so wrong, that he could be so
without her
she held him until his warmth
dissipated
and she knew he was
truly gone from her
his joy, love, protection, his warm hands and gentle gaze, his laughter, tears and beautiful smile that reached his baby blues ... all of who he was, gone
and all she has left is ...
why?

Some mysteries test our forbearance beyond what seems reasonable on the human journey. This is one of them. A precious write.
