THE GATES
by Michaela Sefler  

The gates are open,

and she comes through;

embellished

by the moonlight.

His attempts,

bring back hopes

of a forgotten promise,

he shines.

Remembering her attempts

he is strengthened

in silence, he holds

for she reigns in his province.

And this night is different,

and he remembers

the slight nuances that take shape

in the moonlight, their lives are embellished.

And all that happened

is theirs to know;

and what will be,

is a mystery.
