The Wide Blue Sky with Clouds

The wind blows as I look up at the wide blue sky. I see the clouds floating with freedom I long to have. I sigh as I look down at the Earth. I am here on the ground but when I imagine my true love, I am flying in the air. I feel such a great depth of freedom when I think of him. Time passes me by and the world moves on. How I desire to interact right now within the world but fate will not have this so. Love is my only path and it will not be ignored or distracted. Why was I chosen for such a fate? What purpose is meant for me? What is my identity? Why does pain hit the heart so mercilessly? These questions are like invisible strings that constrain me. I begin to see the strings around my body when I have nothing to distract me from these questions. So, I being to ignore these unbreakable strings that soon turn into chains from my negligence. These chains soon expose the emptiness in my heart. "Oh, please make this cruel pain stop," I begged. I see my precious glass stones falling. I run to save them but the chains keep me from saving them. Family has crashed to the hard and cold ground. Then friendship falls and career falls soon after. My freedom is lost in these chains. Nnow, I see the most important and most precious glass stone falling called Love. I struggle in the chains deternmine tht this love must NOT be scrattered. I pull screaming ,"NO," as the glass stone called love finally hits the ground. My head drops and all of my strength leaves my body. I lay there empty in chains. The tears will not come and all of my feelings are lost. I am surrounded in glass with all that I hold dear lost. I am surrounded in glass with all that I hold dear lost. I lost myself in all of those painful chains and broken glass. I finally stand up from all the broken glass and see the blue sky with clouds. "I can not forget my heart, my childish innoence, and my true love that waits for me with open arms," I softly said to myself. Then that small voice in my heart starts to grow stronger and louder. I can not hear any voice of reason. I must succumb to this voice that isnow screaming from within my heart. I tried so hard to deny it, lock it away, and cover it up; but this beautiful voice will NOT be covered or dismisssed away. This beautiful voice from the heart stayed strong and true. This voice starts answering my questions that continued to confuse, torture, and paqin me. All of the chanins are now visible and heavy on me. Why was I chosen for such a fate? What purpose is meant for me? What is my identity? Why does pain hit the heart so mercilessly? This beautiful voice from my heart tells me gently. "You are born to have such a fate to show others strength of the will in you heart and to be an example for others that see you even when you do not. Your purpose is to help and encourage others who long for real support and true friendship, and to unite with your other half, your true love. Your identity can never be given to you by others. Your identity is who you created from your own heart and childish innocence. There is much cruelity in this world from people who posses very cruel hearts. Cruel people hate it when good and beautiful souls shine with brillant light. This is why merciless pain exsist and happen to ikind soouls like you." With each question answered, I was finally able to let the tears flow which allowed my heart to heal from the pain. Suddenly, the chains began to rust and break completely away from me. When I looked up this time, I could finally see the great beauty and elegance of the lovely wide blue sky with gorgeous clouds. "I can NOT give up on love for it is not in my soul and heart to forsake love!" I find a new found smile on my face and wait for the day I am united with my true love. For true love does not always come the way we perceive love to come, but true love does come only when we have not give up on it through all the pain and suffering.

~~~~THE END~~~~
