The Encounter

nothing more than a thought. Of what it would be like to encounter such a place and its spirits that dwelles with in.

The Encounter

 

As I entered this vast and elegant room with a tall ceiling and four columns that sat in the center of the room. On the columns there were strange and exquisite carvings like nothing I have ever seen before.  Looking up to the top of the four columns as they reached the high ceiling it was as if they were reaching up into the heavens. Centered upon them was a stone dome with stone carvings and some small holes that let in a tiny rays of light into the center of the room.  At the end of the room is a large stone window, and at that window there I encountered a girl with long black hair flowing in the wind as the daytime sun shined upon her. Her locks looked like the midnight river as the radiant moon danced upon it. She stood there gazing outside. I approached her and asked, “What are you doing?” Her voice was soft and gently embraced me as she spoke.  Her words pierced my soul as she points out asking me “Do you see it”?  I looked out the window saying to her, “See what”? She replies,” It’s lovely”. I questioned her, “What is lovely”? She smiled and told me, “Look at the trees how they bow to the wind in grace and submission. The way the soft gentle breeze carries the bright autumn leaves through the land as a mother carries her child embracing it gently to her self, so the wind embraces the leaves to the land”. I found myself standing besides her looking at everything. It seemed timeless.
