Child

She sat alone at a small wooden table in a open common room filled with a few people who’s murmur could not be heard over her thoughts. The room was lined with large bay windows that looked out on the black cold night. She sat there mulling over thoughts that turned through her mind and penetrated through her heart. Glancing out the window the girl watched the tear blurred lights of cars who raced by. Her mind and heart were at war. All she could do was stand and watch while her heart had been beaten and her mind had lost. There was nothing left but the cold cry of pain. Nothing... Nothing... It was all gone... The cry faded like wind leaving through a old house and then silence.

Everything stood still in that moment. A warmth slowly crept from her her toes the the deepest part of her being. She felt a the warmth of a hand closing her eyes to wipe the tears away. A sweet voice spoke softly in to her ear: “Child I love you. Let go. Let me take all your burdens. I will take them and carry them for you. Let me mend you heart and make it new and whole again. My child trust me for I know your plans for good and a future of hope. Let me be your guild; allow me to lead you down the straight path. I love you... I love you... I love you..."
