There we stand, each on one side of the curtain. Palm to palm with thick material between us. Your voice sings and mine trembles. You promise me sweet things and I break. We find ourselves in this meeting place, though we have yet to meet. You whisper to me, One day. I hold onto these words. Soon the time comes where I must go, back to life, and so you leave. I can hear your smile in your voice as you promise your love and soul to me. You must leave now, but you always promise to return. Without fail, you always do.
Here we are again, palm to palm, your voice sings a song of a thousand voices, all full of hope and promise. Mine is an empty echo, broken and waiting for this promise. You tell me now the time is coming where you must allow darkness to fall. There will be time for me and there will be nothing, I’m certain I will not break. You remind me how I feel right now, At this moment where we are in bliss. There will be no bliss or hope, there will be nothing, like a blanket because you have left me. My voice tries to remain strong, just for you. You know it’s not me I am trying to be brave for, it’s for my own heart.
The time has come that you must leave, let darkness fall and the sun must fade. Darkness consumes all that is in me and I feel myself slipping into despair. A violent storm and vicious break, and soon we will be together. How come I must endure your absence to be close? Why must you leave me to be, so I may know your return? While I sit by the curtain, losing all hope of you in my mind.
Your presence begins to surround me once more, like the sun returning to the morn. Here I am, you say with great approval, and tell me to stand back. I rise to my feet and step away. A great light the fills the room and my soul. I begin to hear a rip, there, again another rip! With the might of your strength and your sword ripped the curtain. I shield my eyes from a flood of light that flows over me. Light floods all around my being, I can barely see. I can let my hand and guard down to see only you.
Emerging from the light, there you stand as any mighty king would, with a crown that adorns your head, but it is your love that adorns my heart. You reach your hand down to me that I may take it for the first time. Here we are, palm to palm, no curtains to divide. You lift me to my feet and pull me close to your chest, embracing me in your warmth. I feel safe, I begin to cry. You look at me once more with loving eyes that fill the sky. You promised me one day, and that day has come from great sacrifice. Enduring the darkness, I patiently waited on your promise, trusting you would fulfil it. Now here we are, safe and secure in each other’s loving embrace.
You have me now and I to you. There is no more to divide, you fought for me. No more palm to palm but heart-to-heart we can enter into your kingdom. Let your love flow as I am embraced. There is no more darkness. Just as the curtain has been ripped, so has the wall between us. We no longer hide from each other, we are now together. As you embrace me and I embrace you, we truly embrace one another. In flaw, in slight and imperfection, you are forever my king. You alone could break down all that divides us. Now here I stand in your arms, I am truly glad that you are no longer must hide your face from me. That I can look upon your glory and know you are now beside me.
