The Promise by Fabrice Poussin

 The promise 

 

The hand of tomorrow mustered a miracle  

inviting the stranger into the icy vault 

teasing the fingertips of the adventurer. 

 

A break in an unending storm came at last 

upon a clear blue realm behind the massive wall 

the universe sighed before its great deed. 

 

A hazy vision upon an unlikely stage 

and a gentle breath parted the final curtain 

as life once more smiles into the darkness. 

 

A last ovation acclaims the event 

before the shroud seals the night into mystery 

and the visitor disappears within her dreams. 

 

Taken in the arms of a silky embrace 

rest comes to him who listens to the soft beat 

of a breast offered but for a brief moment.
