Drifting, Dancing

She moves with grace and serene beauty
a veritable maelstrom of light and color
drifting through
the vast and empty darkness
her swirling dress of stars flowing elegantly behind
“do you see me now?”
she whispers softly

He saw her long, long ago
but everything moves so slowly
in this, the void
patience and time
finally within earshot
“may I?”
he offers his hand

They spin for ages
each rotation
profoundly shifting the very space around them
lost
in each other’s burning eyes
drawn ever closer
until the day
that two
become one
