I stare directly into the eyes of my own reflection, worn by these still waters that seemed to be all around me. I move my attention towards the sky but then my vision is caught like a fly in a web. My heart skips a beat, I'm lost in these waters as I see another raging storm lurking in the horizon ahead. I hear thunderous roars in the distance, hiding behind the black and grey clouds they were so ominously disguised from within. I watch a streak of blue light race across the sky, and then I lose my train of thought. I find myself in a trance, watching the dancing rain from this storm move closer and closer. The beauty of this moment begins to slowly remind me of my every self acclaimed virtuous action, and my walk down that lonely road of seven deadly sins guided through false passion. I return my gaze back towards those once still waters and notice an increase in motion. I notice now, that this water is beginning to sing to me. Shrouded inside a mesmerizing tone matched with, an enigmatic vibration that seemed to make all my fears and pain vanish... Every worry I've ever felt fades away. I notice that reflection I once saw before in these peaceful waters, now begins to resemble the image of who I truly was all along. I see the beauty that was hidden and buried a long time ago, lost deep inside me. I begin to feel increasingly weightless, almost as if I could levitate at any moment. I return my eyes to the center of that darkening storm, I stand strong and ready with the holy ghost right beside me. I stand with a newfound understanding for every trial and tribulation. With every answer memorized, for this neverending test of our patience. I feel a heavy gust of wind rush towards me and bring life into my lifeless surroundings. The force is powerful and I feel it trying to push me down and make any step that I take in progression, just a waste of my effort. I hear a whisper carried on the wind that continues to tell me "For every one step forward, I'll take you two steps backwards"...
I refuse to listen, and I refuse to allow it to push me anymore. I focus on finding my true peace of mind. If I can't stop this wind, then I will never let it touch me again. I will only allow this wind to pass through me instead. I am no longer being pushed or pulled by it's alluring touch. I finally accept the situation... I was never lost at all ... I knew exactly where I was. I'm standing next to this hurricane of emotion and chaos, with only the greatest story ever written.. And every mysterious page laying in calm, within the palm of my hands. I flip through those pages and slowly smile with joy. I was never even broken or hopeless... I was just another piece of this beautiful act from the start... I turn my stare directly into the sky as I now stand within the eye of the storm and feel the rage within it's creation. I stand tall with the armor of God as my strength and all the wisdom I found through the mistakes of my past... I can now finally see a perfect silver lining that was always there, waiting patiently for me to find It. It was just hidden behind a shadowed cloak, worn by the storm. Just like a gentle kiss from a rose can also bring pain from its thorns. Death became a distant thought again, because I've fallen deeply in love with a true and surreal reality... The reality that everything is nothing more than a moment in time to experience the comedy and tragedy of it all, so use that time wisely. Never despair because honestly, that storm was merely just another illusion. It was never even there. Time was just a beautiful masterpiece, and life was just the perfect painting of an abstract, and flawless work of art. You will never truly be lost.. If you always choose to follow.. right behind your heart.
