Drabble written for ringprov Challenge #17: write a fic inspired by a song lyric.

I thought I was going to go with another song, but this one leapt in. Done in 21 minutes.

In the Sweet By-and-By


It must be that I've died.

No light like this ever came to my eyes before. There you stand with Spring bursting from you, so I know I must be dead indeed. How else could you still be so, the image of that sparkling youth, his hair dappled by the tree-shadows? My breath catches at the sudden memory: your damp skin, your voice.

For a moment, I wonder what I ever did to deserve this step onto the shore. Such riches ain't for the likes of me. But then your arms dissolve everything else, and all there is, is light.
