What happened to me was simply exhilarating- I saw my pores widen (or perhaps it was the lack of hair?) and then the lights wrapped themselves around like a glove, like my very skin and then like the moon revealing herself while the clouds combine to dramatize her radiance, I saw a small dull gold spot expanding and then faster than racing light engulf me entirely. I raised my hand, now bronze and touched my face and then in apprehension my hair. My hand ran down my hair which was twice its length and falling past my shoulders like a black cascade.
I closed my eyes. This was too surreal. What am I? Is this a strange necrologue? I couldn’t come to a conclusion. I didn’t have one- is there ever one?
Possibilities- once more they strike me down.
I closed my fists and opened them again, my dark eyes lighting up like a liquid jewel. I felt--- elevated! A strange whirring at the back of my head made me look around alert- but silence: for there is nothing here.
Except me, and the only sound I heard was in my head- growing louder, louder, deafening!!
I was oblivious to everything as a series of images flashed in my mind. With every passing image I grew, my mind brushing away past ignorance in an enlightened cadence. I felt the loosening of chains, I felt as if my head grew heavier but at the same time I felt lighter- I felt enlightened.
I look down- everything made sense and at that moment...the voice spoke to me and I knew- I was the lightening and he is my companion. It was love of which he spoke- and I cried, his words ringing so sweet in my ears.
It rained gently at first and then my joy swept over and I cried more as the Earth welcomed me.
Love- is everywhere, it’s the elements, it’s their song, it’s the Earth whether she be rocky, smooth or barren. Love is eternal, love is omnipresent and I have found my abode…
