This is a 10 word challenge given to me by Silent One I hope you all enjoy it as much I enjoyed writing it-Alexis The words are: 1.)Plethora 2.)Evanescent 3.) Felicity 4.) Rasphoic 5.) Idyllic 6.)Dulcet 7.) Chrysalis 8.) Radiant 9.) Sapphire 10.)Talisman
As I was walking along the most beautiful path, I saw a chrysalis hanging on a tree. Moments later I saw a beautiful butterfly emerge from its hardened home.It had the most radiant colors. I was in awe of the splendid creature before me.Off in the distance I heard dulcet sounds that took my breath away. I was in total felecity in that very moment.I basked in nature and we became as one.As I look- ed down I saw a sapphire talisman in the grass. I thought to myself what kind of power could it hold. I stooped down to pick it up and I felt a surge of energy throughout my entire body. It was a idyllic scene, I was given so much strength. I gained a plethora of might and I believed I could rule the world. Immediately I started laughing in a sinister voice. I didn't recognize it as my own. A rasphoic sensationation took control of me. All of a sudden selfish and evil thoughts bom- barded my mind. Next thing you know in one second,l felt evanescent and I started to get weak. The new power that I gained left as quickly as it came and my world went dark. As I began to gain consciousness I realized I was not on some beautiful path or someone with many powers. I was just a girl in my room lying on my bed who had one hell of a dream.

There is some great imagery in this piece and I had felt a dream like quality which seems to have been your intent all along.

Your dream my dear , Alexis, easily could reality be if you idedify the common factor that you share with each single existence. If you do it then, as you say, you will be able to overcome all hurdles that might be on your way and become the ruler of yourself and of part of the world. Very beautiful dream! Keep dreaming!
