1492

he embraces things.
signs, and rings, and nuances often left out.
he has a way with words that brings tears to your eyes.
he is never out of place.
always has to save face.
he has a title.
it is his crown.
he is an explorer,
plumbing the depths of the world,
breaking beyond barriers that hold lesser ones back.
he doesn't look back.
he is fearless.
he mounts on wings, circling ever higher upon the currents which hold time to his soul.
cadence unfiltered.
undaunted.
he laughs impetuously,
his laughter chiming brightly into the eerie night.
he neither knows nor cares that they are watching,
as they always do.
it doesn't affect him.
light filters from a brazen sun through tangles in his golden hair,
revealing a smile as pure as ice.
he is a glacier, freezing and burning her timid heart.
she need not fear in his shadow.
weightlessly they make their way.
time emboldens the faint and feeble.
they are united,
coupled as the sun and the sky,
experiencing changes in the upper atmosphere.
barometric pressure.
so much to treasure in this moment.
uncertainty.
two souls recklessly invite time and consequence
whilest they journey onward to the horizon,
where awaits consequence, endless opportunity, and lands yet discovered.
consider the sea from the sands of the shore,
things are rarely as stable.
