Dreaden vail

Between shadow and flame

Take me in your arms,

not just to hold me,

but to keep the night from swallowing me whole.

Let your breath be the only wind I know,

and your heartbeat the only drum that guides my steps,

If morning comes, let it find us still here,

your hands a shelter, your warmth a promise,

that the world outside can wait.
