Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

It was a bright sunny morning the the fall time scape of the sleepy little town you live in was beautiful, the sun woke from the corners of the earth and sparkled through the windows of the house. The shinying light that woke the creatures that roamed and stirred you from your sleep. The soft sounds of something comming up the steps to your room, as you pull yourself from you slumbers and bring yourself closer to the door; all together the sounds stop and you open the door to see what it is, you look down at an floating white pearl with an image of a young woman inside. You feel as though your being drawn to it as you reach down to touch the floating pearl it opens up into a giant votex and sucks you in, the first reaction you have is to hold onto the side of your bedroom door but to no avail it pulls you in and you fall for what seems like eternity.

The falling rain that covered the darken place pushed your body closer to the dirt now mud, you awoke with a start when a loud crack of thunder and lighting tears acrossed the dark clouds. Shivering you pull yourself up leaning against what you think to be a tree for help up, except the supposed tree growls at you and walks away. You fall back onto the ground harshly and pull your self to be atleast sitting, looking around you pull your hand up and brush your now soaked hair out of your eyes to see in the distance a light of some kind.
Your body tensed with the thought of getting out of this rain that you moved yourself to crawl through the thick mud and pull yourself slowly to your feet, though still shaky, at first you wobbled with your first few steps and held your arms out as balance. Soon getting your footing you slowly make your way over to the light, your body grown numb due to the coldness of the rain that soaked you to the bone. Your eyes became heavy and sleep soon took over your steps, just before you fell back onto the ground you call out though meek as a whisper, cuts and scraps cover your body as you pass out from exushtion.

When you awake you open your eyes just abit to look around at your surroundings. You look to be in a plain room that had nothing that made it stand out in anyway possible, you lay there for a moment and tried to move to get up but you close your eyes when a sharp pain hit your body and your body jerks about violently when something felt as if it was trying to tear out from inside your being. Crying out in pain tears lined down your face, your sore arms clutched your chest trying to calm the pain that perieced at your being. Unknown to you a figure stepped into the room and moved closer to your bedside (enter desripction of the person here), she laid a hand over your arm and your body's violent jerking slowed to a dull pain and you pass out from so much pain that your body endured in that short period of time.

As your body slept your mind began to wander, deeper and deeper into the shadows and dreams that filled your mind. Weaving your astral body in an out of doors of your thoughts, you soon come upon a door that feels out of place and as you near the door it sent out a current of raw energy that pulsates when you closen upon it. Placing a hand on the door you slowly push it open and move through it. You come to stand in a forest maze that was behind the door and turn to head back out but the door was gone. You began to panic and turn back around and the maze looks as though it t'were getting longer, you heaved a heavy sigh and began making your way through the maze that lined yout thoughts.

The woman that came into the room eariler that same day, came back in a little after dark and removed the now dry cloth that was laying over your forehead. Your body now covered in bandages that looked as though it blended in with the new clothes your were giving, the clothes you were now dressed in, looks more like a simple cloth funnel that covered the parts of the body that those did not wish to view. As the young woman placed a new damp cloth on your forehead, a smile crossed her features as she felt as through your spirit was drawing closer to what could be your tie to this world.

Your racing heart echoed in your chest as you began to feel incredibly lost in your own thoughts, a howl pricked your ears and you halted your movement and looked around. Placing a hand over your racing heart you slowly backed up when a shiver ran down your spine, when you heard footsteps coming through the maze. You backed up somemore till you ran out of room and flush up against a tree, feeling you have no escape from whatever was coming towards you you sink the the ground and trying to cover yourself up hoping whatever it was pass by you. -cont-

Just One Thing

You do not need, to capture the moon,
Nor lasso the stars.
Showers of the man's mortal wealth,
That he long since covet.

Stop all time and let there be,
No more pain.
Or even, the bargains with the gods,
For they may wish it.

Please hold back the torrents of praise,
And you may also give back the light of day.

The warmth of material things,
Are not of any importance.
But the warmth of something,
Is what I crave.

Of all things in the world,
That people put value on.
An hold this treasure,
With each passing day.

Mine is for you,
The greatest gift you can give.
Is by having you in my life.

So If you would,
Release the moon and its stars,
An give back the man's,
Many riches.

For the only treasure
And
The one thing I wish for most?

......
Is you.
