He looks at her with a peaceful smile “I can’t do it”. Fear grips her eyes, “If you don’t do it, I will surely fall.” Gently he cups her cheek with his palm “It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s that I can’t. I’m not that strong.” His lovely smile fades into seriousness with these words: “You are the only one who can do this.” Worlds collide inside her mind as she tries to defeat his words. All in vain. His eyes won’t allow her to back down. She stands up. Her hands are shaking with fear and a few drops of doubt. He grabs her hand “Do it trembling if you must, but do it!” She turns around and forces her legs to walk through the gate. As she disappears into the fog he whispers to her lingering scent "Are you really that strong?"____________________
Strength is not when you face a difficult situations with ease.
Strength is when you keep walking while you're trembling.

ReplyDeleteNo matter how bad my day is going, you seem to look into my soul, see what turmoil is there and then you post something that speaks to me...There aren't enough words to describe how I feel about your writing and you know that...It is amazingly beautiful and haunting at the same time.
