Having faith in yourself can make it possible to overcome anything. |
Faint echos in the darkness of another place and time, slowly stir the swirling mists of my mind, as the memories struggle to gain a foothold in the night. Solid, and yet, ghostly, they haunt my waking hours and drive the sleep from my eyes long after midnight. Shimmering lights off in the distance whisper a promise of sanctuary, but the comfort of their glow seems like a lifetime away and forever out of reach. The first true fluttering of panic come to life in my chest. My breathing quickens, as my hands begin to tremble. A thin film of fear induced sweat forms on my brow, as my throat closes and becomes as dry as the desert wastelands that lie to The South. The dragon calls to me from His lair, taunting me, daring me to find the courage to face him in the tangled web of my dreams. Knowing the only way to find everlasting peace, is to draw my sword one final time, I step out into the night, along the path of my destiny. Looking back, I survey from where I have come, and know that I have overcome much in the Name of Love. Looking forward, to where my heart leads, I acknowledge the rough journey ahead, and the sacrifice that must be endured, if I am to obtain my hearts desire. Looking around me, in the present, I realize that there lives in me a force that is finally stronger, and far more potent than the dragon. This night...... Victory will finally be mine. |
