Jennifer My Jen
I float.
Arms extended in front of me I float towards a house.
I have never seen this house, but it draws me...calls to me.
It sits alone in a field of tall sunflowers. The pull it has on my
heart is strong and undeniable.
Slowly coming upon it I see people gathered there on the porch. I can’t make out
their faces but their stares feel warm. Inviting. It has the feel of old time friends
and family long passed. They’re waving to me.
As I make my way up the porch. The figures, still waving, gesture me to the front door.
With a sense of familiarity I know everyone. They know me. They Love me and have been
waiting. A beam of light shines through the front door. Im ushered through. just me.
No one follows. I look back. They're gone.
Inside this empty house of hallways are many windows. It feels very much lived in.
A light shines through one. I'm drawn to it. I peer in.
In a flash of light I see being played out on the other side like a movie; its you. Laying in bed.
asleep. Someone laying next to you is stroking your hair. Softly touching you ears and lips.
Your hair glowing around your face. I feel love there.
Inside the house another window glows with light and I peer in.
There you are. Slightly out of focus but I know its you. Little by little the picture becomes evident.
It is you. You're crying. Crying tears of joy, laying on a hospital bed. You're handed a baby.
A little boy. Im overwhelmed wanting to climb through.
Back inside is a figure pointing to a door and wants me to go through. I do.
Nothing! Total darkness! Despair, pain, misery and sorrow! I don’t like it here.
All my nightmares in one room. I feel a hand reach into my chest. Not for my heart but for my soul.
I open my mouth to scream. empty air. I feel a hand grab mine and pull me back through the door.
The house is now gone and I’m back in the field of sunflowers. I look to the sky.
It's all dark. My hand still being held. Just then a ball of fire explodes in the sky
and filled the darkness with a billion stars and a new moon. I look to
see who's holding my hand. Its you. You smile. I cry and hold you as if you were gone a lifetime.
My love. A love lit by the light of a billion stars. A feeling so pleasing to my
soul that it knows no other. You feel warm, inviting with purity, clarity and lucidity.
A Love. One love. Evergreen and ever-after.
And I will love you long after the the moon returns to dust
and the stars fall from the heavens.
