Anonymous Legacy’s Visual Dare #11:
Mystique
It was the last time she would stare into his eyes…and the finality hit her with a permanence she had refused to allow just moments before. Eyes locked and souls lost in a single moment that would mirror eternity in the weeks, months… years to follow.
Every fragment of their love, every last glimmer had to be shared before the moment was gone, and though not a sound left their lips, every word that was left was said.
Then he stepped back and vanished and the reeling, shimmering portal sealed with a radiant burst of light.
He was gone.

Very poignant, Lisa.
Lovely – and heartbreaking. Love this – job well done!
This is as lovely as that photo prompt, heartbreaking and somehow I sense a courageous act behind it. Lovely work.
I love to know the backstory of this one. Nice writing. 🙂

You had me with the first line, "and the finality hit her with a permanence…" love that.
Thanks for commenting, I was thinking of time travel with this one!
I agree with Daniel and he has chosen a perfect word to match your lovely words, Lisa: PoignantYou are always able to put the flush in the cheeks that brings the painting to life. Well done.
That's a beautiful compliment Jo-Anne, thank you X
