Healing

I saw him from a distance,

Saw the frustrated tears

The anxiety in his eyes.

He's pain was palpable

Yet his enigmatic power was dark and seductive.

It filled the hall,

Held me in its thrall.

I yearned to touch him,

To hold him in my arms

Longed to smooth away that worried frown

And soothe his ravaged soul.

I prayed that he'll find peace,

That his burdens will be cast away...
