He Breathe She Breathe


"He Breathe She Breathe"

He was on an island deserted with the trees and the ocean as his friends. The vegetation was his food for thought. He was laboring with his workman hands tending to the fields when a deep sleep came upon him. The wind blew. There he lay int he center of the island with the sun shining upon him. Then the sky turned orange with sherbet hues of pink and red. 

The wind continued to blow as a scurry of banana leaves surfaced. The leaves blanketed him as he slept and he breathed. He slept deeper and breathed deeper. Then he exhaled his last breath. The strong gust of wind baptized him as he peacefully was cradled in creation's arms. In the midst of the wind laid a rib covered in sand. Then suddenly, a strain of redbirds flew onto a limb in a single formation. On another tree, a slew of doves gathered throughout the huge tree's branches standing at attention. 

Then every wing of the air and every crawler of the land came at formation. The waters were halted as the ocean's tides became quiet. All gathered watching in awe at the master's hand. Time did not click nor clock. Time stood still. The earth stood still. The stars came out to day and the moon joined hands with the sun as every breathing element encircled the artist from afar observing as he perfected her very image with his perfect eye. 

There were no words to describe her majesty. For words could not define her creation. Words were not even released until her creation was complete. She was his thought before she became words. She became the giver, the bearer of life. 

After his final touch, he was pleased. It was time for her to be revealed. It was time for her to meet destiny. And there...she was. Every attendant marveled at her creation. She became beauty's breath. Rejoice and celebration filled every corner of the earth. The soles of her feet defined radiance's scroll. Marvelous captured her glow. 

The master took her by her precious hand to the man in the field. There she stood before him watching him lay in peace's hand. When she exhaled, he inhaled. His master awakened him. When she breathed, he breathed. His eyes locked with hers he stood slow to his feet as her grace left him speechless. Her beauty held his eyes. 

When he breathed, she breathed. When he blinked, she blinked. Their heartbeats were the sheet to music's note. And so they were, in the center of the island. Attendants not only witnessing an artist exhibit, but a marriage. When he breathed, she breathed creating a harmonious oneness. Where the two became one. 

The birds flapped their winds chirping songs of praise. The ocean's tides rose up to high currents of joy. The stars shone brighter with the sun and the moon creating rainbows of light. 

Every breathing, life containing element released a praise of love for all the earth to hear. 

So they were...earth's first royal couple destined by the artist.
