Sister

There she was, looking at me with the love that only an older sister could have.... a sister who existed before time began. She told me to come with her and I could not say no, nor did I want to. She was beautiful with her pure Spanish heritage, very fair skinned and long soft, slightly wavy black hair. We halted our journey as she turned to me and asked, "Why are you so down? Why are you so sad? What is that you say? You say that you just don't fit in? What is that you say... your friends, your true friends seem so far away? And how you don't know if you can go on another day? Come here my sister and sit here next to me, place your head upon my shoulder. Rest while you may, sit, breathe, relax and enjoy the day... let your sisters dance and make you laugh for awhile so that you might forget that your life seems on trial. Then one day when you are able, as the spiritual music which plays works its healing power upon you. Get up and dance as you are led, remember that you belong to the ancient of days and that you have always understood Him in a different way. Woe is you when you forget who you are... a daughter of the Highest. So now, have compassion and mercy on the ones... the other children who haven't made it that far yet; that the world is under a cloud of darkness created by a creature who kills from the inside out by creating confusion in a person's mind which then kills their heart." My sister then had me follow her for a bit longer, she led me towards a beautifully made black iron gate. I followed her through this gate; a new family, or perhaps not so new family awaited me there.
