Here they are.

The thump, thump, thumps

Of the helicopter blades spinning

With a violent speed

Slicing the raindrops and piercing with the thunder

Blinding those who watch it land on the pad

With a heavy light beaming across the platform

The entrance to the skyscraper restaurant

Grabbing the attention of those who pilot inside

She's close, I can feel it.

Her heart pulses with mine

As it did for eons before

I haven't spoken to her in so many years

But time is an illusion

I can't let those affect my actions

For I control the outcomes

I uphold the greatest lie

That keeps the universe sane

To give a purpose to existence

Balance.

She steps from the air vehicle

Her eyes a bright turquoise

To let me know that she was the one

Bringing the rain to our feet

The black of her hair to match our surroundings

The curls just above her brows

swirling with the waves of the ocean below

Her face drowning any other thoughts in my head

Her dress sparkling above glass shoes

Ones that she'll take off to step into the skies

Taking my hand to dance under the moonlight

Spreading an aurora to replace the smoke

Erasing the storm

Calming the seas

And breathing a new air

Into the world
