The Light

It rose,
highlighting her eyes,
dry with tears.
It sank,
easing itself into
her skin.
Dancing.

This aura, backlighting,
struck me
as if seeing her soul
trying to escape
to reassure me
she loved me.
This was her dove.
This was what she said
she never
let anyone see.

I caught it,
refracting in my mind.
