   My partner's eyes are twilight
   gentled by his smile
   The shadow to my sunlight
   entwined by countless miles.

   My partner's eyes are seascape
   changing with the light
   Dancing with a child's mirth
   a tired heart takes flight.

   My partner's eyes are daybreak
   forgiving my selfish soul
   A glance that heals my brokenness
   restoring what pride has stole.

   My partner's eyes are cerulean
   fear and anger take their toll
   Threatening like a stormed-tossed sea
   mirroring the billow's roll.

   My partner's eyes are closed now
   shut tight against suffering's rain
   I'll stand as guardian till healing comes
   and I bring him home again.

THE END
