UNION
by Bradley L. Miller A lonely Angel in a train depot A lost Lion in a magical land. An unknowing pair of souls predestined to link in an unbreakable union, To meet in an insignificant parlor to create a musical success of art, To find love in a moonlit park, surrounded by stars, and proclaim their love and devotion in an English castle. The Lion spirit and the Angel soul become one, With a love that extends beyond boundaries And touches people from mountain cafes to deserts of light. From temples of drama to the churches of music they bring love and hope to unwitting recipients and reveal a force of unopposable magnitude. The couple journeys to faraway places. They sail the ocean to a village of cobble-stone streets, They ride the air to a metropolis of art and culture And visit hamlets built on hills and olde English towns in an arid desert. They see magical sights in the most unlikely of places And marvel at the many new things they have yet to experience. Their souls mystically embody others To portray historical and fantasy characters along the way. A young boy yearning for acceptance, A sensuous woman triumphing over a malignant evil, Prisoners finding hope in a dungeon of despair, A mother and father, protecting their family in a Holland factory. In these magical travels, one thing remains. The Angel still looks to her Lion, The Lion always longs for his Angel. Both find power in knowing this certain truth. That they only need to look beside them, or within them, To find the wild passionate affection that binds them as one, forever.
