her dress sparkled in the lights like the energy in her eyes
as she left
the hearts of many felt abandoned and worthless
This poem relates to Santiago's love life. Santiago was loved my Fatima, very much so. When he had to leave so he could continue on his pathway to his destiny. Santiago promised to return for her one day. She knew that if he did return that it was true love. When santiago left he left her behind, she was left broken hearted but was grateful for him to come in the first place. Fatima quotes "If i am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day... The dessert takes our men from us, and they don't always return, We know that , and we are used to it. Those who don't return become a part of the clouds, a part of the animals that hide in the ravines and of the water that comes from earth. They become a part of everything.... they become the Soul of the World."(Coelho 93) Everyday Fatima thinks about Santiago and if he will ever return for her.
