Bound to one dream and one path I walked along the seashore. The shore was hidden, forgotten, and found by the few who were meant to find it. With each step I took the more lighter my chest was. The sand sparkled like it was made up of small broken bits of tan crystals, and yet the feel of them ground against the bottom of my feet was warm, comforting. I felt as if I could mesh into thin air, and be gone from time in one clean wisp. Waves came rolling in on the shore, barely meeting my feet. Slowly I let my silken robe that belonged to my mother slip to the sand leaving me to be vulnerable.
The smooth silk rushed down making me feel like I had bloomed, shed off the old. I stepped forward towards the coming waves. I closed my eyes in fear of the collision and when it came it amazed and awakened my soul. When the blinds to my eyes rose I saw the most beautiful thing that awaited me, and it had longed for this moment of me finding it.
“The moment I created you it became so clear,” the wind whispered.
“I’m ready,” I replied.
I lay down on my back in the shore where the waves could rush in and cleanse me up to my chin. As they rushed back down my entire body I shuttered, my body igniting to heights unknown just for the waves to consume me once more.They came back with a crash. This time when they rolled back away I looked up with amazement at a figure made of the crystalline sand half faltering and not fully developed on top of me, between my legs. When it lifted its arm, most of the sand plummeted, but in determination the index finger barely grazed my bottom lip when the waves rushed back in making the whole figure quickly collapse. I seemed to glow without exhaust, with my true colors illuminating my body. My arms fluttered out overwhelmingly welcomed to the waves next embrace.
This time when the waves came the figure was fully developed,panting above me with wondrous eyes letting the waves slip backaway, far, far, away.We gazed in awe, wondering how we ended upin each other's presence, and as time went looking in his eyes it all became clear, and I knew who he was.. Everything zoomed past in order from the beginning in my mind, never giving away to the never-ending end. His hand came forth with his finger so close to that bottom lip in remembrance, but then he was swept away, dissipating in the air in multiple shades of his colors, and his desperate hand being the last thing reaching out for me. I flew forwards it, jumping from the balls of my feet with both my arms out and hands grasping in the air. His fingertips slid across mine and then he was gone, not only from me but from time itself.Then I looked down as I began to fall... a void of something remarkable, unexplainable, my body filtered gods massive light of eons slammed into one and then ‘poof ’.
