A ray of light so pure streams down and casts a shadow on the pavered walkway of the Dark One herself.....

….and she gazes downward at the armored profile wondering…wanting…..wishing….hoping for another shadow to join her among the bricks engraved with memories of day’s past……..someone new, someone with a heart that feels her own……a man or immortal who will feel as she does about her beloved harbor and will walk with her……..not against her…….as so many have…….someone of truth……..not one who holds back……..but one that gives all in passion of thought, feeling and belief……..not like the others who surround her who ignore the reality of existence……..what good can a life without truth be…..the Dark One knows it is nothing that she desires……her strongest desire is that of knowing truth from lie……..and to walk with someone who knows the same……who believes the same……but where is he……..hidden from her eyes for this time……but he shall appear from the shadows when her heart is free…….when that day comes is a mystery to her……..one she feels ripping at her very soul…..she desires light more than anything within her heart to free her from the sadness that has taken joy from her on far too many star-filled nights…….her only peace that of the glowing moon………but, soon, the Harvest Moon will be upon her and she hopes with her entire being that it will be on that night that love fills her heart more than ever………..forever………
