The Forever
Faraway, I hear a whisper, so quiet and soft. Faraway, I hear a call. Louder and louder, it gets every minute. Soon I stand in internal darkness. I hear music and it calms my soul. I fall asleep, flying with the wind to a place hidden from the world’s eyes. I fly so far away from my home, knowing that I may never return. Light sparkly golden dust holds me high in the sky. As I close my droopy eyes. I see a mess of colors bouncing in my mind like bubbles. Then the colors are gone and replaced by the place I have wished to see my whole life. I feel a tingle of sadness. Once entered, I’ll never want to leave. For this place is the place of dreams.
No! It is not dreamland, whatever that may be. This is “The Forever” you see. This is the place I wish to be. Full of magic and fun. Full happiness and love. Soon my body feels light. Soon my mind goes blank. I open my eyes from my long nap, and I see a vision I have only thought to be a dream. I smile as my bare feet touch the wet dew grass. I look at the meadow before me. Fairies and pixies fly around me as I stare at this beauty. I hear that call again. Closer and louder than before. I walk through the grassland, following the voice I know is destiny.
I found my new home, a home of wonder. This is where I belong. This is the place that calls me. That makes me feel complete. But still, a part of me, cries in a dark corner, hoping to see my old home again. But now I have accepted my new home and there is no going back. So, I stand here in the Forever. Dancing and singing to my heart’s delight. Writing to my heart’s content about the many stories here. Wishing for you to come and join me. I’ll wait for you in the meadow where I first landed in “The Forever”. I’ll wait till it’s time for you to come to join me. But until then, know I remember you still while I’m far away in a place I can’t fully describe, and that I’ll wait for you to arrive.
