Ammie's Heart

     By Christopher Bowman

The witching hour has past
...Butterfly wings
colorful and delicate
so ready to alight upon dangers first aspect
so like Ammies love
beautiful, delicate
fragile and so easy to frighten into flight
it rests tentatively
on the cowboys outstretched hand
gently offerd
in his steady love her butterfly heart rest
in the paladins care slowly accepted.
so knight errant
and delicate creature
regard each other momentarily
transfixed by the magical moment
the divine has so constructed
within the moment
a bond is so finally defined
that no wind of change
will carry the delicate winged angel
 far from her protected perch
that guards her heart
into the endless night
of his final charge
carrying with him
a lasting and endless love
that will challenge the very fabric
of an endless universe
of stars
set in a living sea of night.....
