Alone in the night...

              Alone In the Night...

In the darkness she sits….
        Alone, the shadows scattered about her, She sits a smile on her lips…  She stares at the wall before her.   Her eyes sparkle in the candlelight that dances about her this night….

Shadows dancing….
         The flicker of the flames about her dart over the wall, her eyes search the images there….  Her soul awakens, her mind and heart roaming about in the darkness, free now….  Dancing in the shadows…

She listens….
          The sound of her own heart beating….   An ache inside of her grows as she listens to the beating inside of her.  Her heart pure and full of a dream she knows so well, one she believes in so strong…  It is within her, wanting out…

She wonders….
          As she gazes ahead, her mind wanders once more into places she knows so well.  The comfort of the shadows as they dance about her make her feel at ease…. Happiness is born as she sits and feels what is coming…. closer and closer.

 The quiet surrounds her…..
         She sits and she wonders, if anyone… anywhere… thinks as she does…  Does anyone else sit and listen to the sounds of the night and their own heart.   Dreams floating in front of them amidst the fleeting shadows, their mind full as the  quiet of the darkness surrounds  them….

The turmoil inside ….
          For all the quiet and darkness she sits in, inside of her turmoil gnaws deep and churning it boils upward....  She learns her lessons each one as it comes for her.  Some easier than others, all are necessary…  Her heart gives her away too easily, but it is also where she finds her strength.  A heart as strong as one of a Warrior and yet as pure as one of a child...

She falters but stands….
           At times she feels weak, alone, as if she stands against the world on her own…  Her soul yearns for what it needs…  a want deepens inside of her as she pauses, the weakness passes and the shadows dance back to her, beckoning her to follow once more.  

She moves on again…..
           She can not stop, the dreams and the wishes dance in her eyes and heart and make her push on….  Her heart feels the ache and she knows the pain will go….  Her belief is strong enough to carry her at times.  She treads to the edge once more and off into the abyss she stares, searching for the path to follow next.   Her heart mending, her mind searching… Her dreams leading her on as the pain fades and she travels on again……
            She searches once more…
