Pools of redemption

I could never fathom ever again believing in magic until I saw them, your big brown eyes that smiled with such a bright shine, like the sun reflecting in the water of a pool, forest-hidden, that lavished me, finally, right before a miserable surrender to the ghosts, and the satyrs that hunted me down without mercy at the time when I could still get lost in the darkness of the forests that make up my world of thought; you gazed at me and released me with those big brown eyes staring shyly, revealing the only heavenly gates I would evermore believe in.
