The Dream
There was once a woman, wandering the world alone with her two children. Cold and confused, she went along. The obstacles and disappointments wouldn't let up, until her body showed the marks of pain--the bruises and the cuts.
One day, as she wondered why she was all alone on this earth; having fallen on her knees, she began to weep. Out of the shadows, came a hand--strong and confident--and lifted her up. She felt safe, holding on to this hand. To her amazement and much to her surprise she was overwhelmed by love. A stranger, from afar, who brought with him the serenity that the woman most longed for. And as time passed, her love and affinity for the kind stranger grew until he was no longer a stranger to her anymore. She had absolute trust--total love.
Her love became so much so, that she surrendered to it--completely, honestly, truly. And for a few glorious days, she was the happiest woman--she was beaming. She wanted to be like this--happy--for as long as she could. Never had her feelings been such, running wild--out of control. It was all new, and she welcomed these feelings wholly, without inhibitions. She followed her heart, trusted her heart. She believed in this man and in his feelings toward her. Gave herself to him, holding nothing back. This felt right to her--he felt right to her. In his arms, she was complete. In, his kisses she felt loved. In his love, she felt consumed.
But, one day she woke up. It was all a dream or at least that was the way it felt. In practically an instant--all she had was memories, and a gaping hole where her heart once was. The kind stranger turned out to be nothing more than a thief, that stole her heart only to later trample on it. If before she was cold and confused--now she was absolutely stunned, in shock--numb. She wondered, where it all went, all the love. With a heavy heart, she continued on her journey. Hoping, wishing that this man would come back to her and but knowing he never would.
With now more cuts and bruises, and a open wound, she went along. How could a person take her to the edge of heaven, only to drop her to the depths of hell?
