The Sentinel of Merging Hearts It was a grey day Not dismal and not dark The weather was relaxing around us as we walked hand-in-hand along the cool October sand There was a wind caressing our flushed and in-love cheeks The surf pounded before us like the beating of our own hearts It was a day unlike any other in life A day when everything was changing Two hearts melted into one just as the blank and somber sky melted into the tumultuous churning sea Becoming a mesh of perfect beings alone no longer in the world Two so distinctive personalities merged into one as we strolled along that day Indiscernible from one another
