Magdalena
The dust settled, the ringing subdued, and the sun came out to light up the world for me. Around me, the bodies of my enemies wept my pain into streams that flowed away from me, their empty eyes releasing me of my destiny. I picked myself up off the ground, and, leaving the past behind me, walked on to a new place. Before me, the land stretched out endlessly, green with the promise of new life.
As the battle grounds moved beyond the horizon, the memories slipped away, and the past covered itself over with hope. Above me, the clouds released for me a shower, and cleansed me of the last traces of that place. In this place, it was easy to forget the pain, beauty flowed through it like hope flowed through me. Here I found a clearing, surrounded with tall, green trees, and littered with flowers of every colour. The sun overhead turned the wet flowers into points of light, and the ground became a rainbow that stretched on into the sky. Here, I'd found my pot of gold, and I was at my rainbows end.
Now here I sit, unknowing of whats to come, and strangely comforted by it.
