My breath grows shallow. My eyes are heavy with the weight of this world.
You kneel next to me; your hand firmly but gently cradles mine. Your gentle smile calms me.
My lungs shudder. Suddenly, electricity courses through my heart and the air is thicker than I remember.
Your smile grows more glorious, and you become more beautiful as I rise to meet you.
My knobby hands and feet have melted away into your radiant reflection.
My eyes can see you in all your glory. I never knew such color existed!
Your laugh reaches my new ears. So, this is your voice!
What was is gone. Behold, the new life has begun.
