Moodboard in misty rose, gold, and silver, with the Sara Teasdale quote, “Let this single hour atone / For the theft of all of me”.
1. A silver ocean gleams beneath the rosy sky at dawn.
2. White marble columns rise like a mist into graceful arches.
3. Against the spangled light of ocean waves, a tentative hand reaches out, hardly daring to touch.
4. A familiar silhouette appears against the sky, obscured by golden sparks.
5. Two backlit faces approach a kiss, one above the other. One person is fair-haired, the other dark; the former’s golden tresses veil both of them.
6. A delicate tracery of branches glitters with morning dew.
7. A single closed eye - no longer The Eye - has a teardrop trembling on its lashes, ready to fall.
8. Along a wave-swept beach, solitary footprints stretch into the distance. It has been a long and lonely journey down the years.
9. A beloved face comes into focus, limned with light, as all things are quietly made new.
