A Gift Worth More Than Gold

She was enrapt by the glow and mesmerized by what appeared to be some sort of orb, bright faceted amber that was crystallized. She struggled to comprehend and to absorb the meaning of such a gilded gift of gold... It was a seed of wisdom, sent as foretold. Her mind was captured by fantasies reaped and saw the future through prisms of glass. Her gift of visions was baffling, but steeped with wonderful events to come; en masse. The glow encircled her head like a wreath surrounding her as she stood upon the heath. Fields of wildflowers then flourished ten fold. She walked with highlanders for many years, curing the sick, aiding the poor, young and old, dispelling myths, defusing people of their fears. She became a legend; the angel sent from above blessed with a kind heart, overflowing with love. Strand's Completely New (15) Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand 7/21/2020

Jenna, is this from a true story, myth/legend, or entirely from your fertile imagination? In any case, it's beautiful poetry and makes a compelling tale with a wonderful ending. Congratulations to you, and keep up the great writing ~ John

She sounds amazing. It made me think of the heroine of Outlanders, who goes back in time and becomes a healer from the modern times sent to the olden days!
