Reading – ‘So Then You Held My Hand’
Reading Time: 2 minutes
… so then you held my hand and showed me the heavens … I had never seen before ... never seen so many stars. We watched their progress across the velvet sky - as mystical, dark, and deep, as your sparkling eyes - and waited for the miracle that we knew would come. An electric air surrounded us, charged by a million volts that crackled, fizzed, and waited to be breathed. … I knew there would be angels somewhere close at hand … Their feathers gently fanning a divine sensation. A harmless flame against our skin, setting light a bright new star which bore our names; just yours and mine. A million lustrous butterflies – as soft as down - descended into our bellies and lent their pearlescent wings to our trembling hearts - waiting to be joined. … I did not fear the passing of such ecstasy … And when the shooting stars had all spent their million sparks and I thought I knew you in every way - the layers of passion peeled away, understood - my eyes opened upon a velvet soul, ever young, that was larger and deeper than the heavens, brighter than stars, and it joined with me - waiting to be born. © Allen Ansell 2023
