Day 18

The prompt: begin and end with the same word


Dearest, I saw you
first among the stars.
You rose in glorious hue
and reached from afar.

You reached to hold my hand
Tightly within your own
You drew me up to stand
At the foot of the unknown

And you urged me to go on
through the darkness that was nearest.
You pulled my courage along
to the summit that was dearest.
