Her wonder imprints itself upon his mind
and leaves him searching for a selfless prayer.
He digs in the soul for strength
to plead on her behalf,
yet for all his want
the silence fades slowly,
he cannot find words to capture
the happiness she deserves to feel.
He searches throughout a slow parade of hours
finally culminating in a small, simple phrase:
"Give me the pain of two,"
he whispers up to the starless night.
"If it means she'll live in peace."
Miles away she wonders,
framed between the earth
and a calm sea of starlit sky.
the echoes of an unknown voice
at first confuse her mind,
then a calm like understanding
sets her wandering heart at ease.
