Lost and Found
Lost and Found
I saw the world before it formed. From the glint of humanities greatest hindsight I gazed fully into the expanse of the void, took in the swirling emptiness that was before the beginning. I watched as the Words spoke into being the projection of the Increate’s dream. This actualization, this most basic act of creation was exposed now to my unveiled eyes. I saw the world built first of waves, of unfilled space and clothed with a darkness that hung low across the uncreated whitecaps. I saw the land rise, the command to build and consume and repeat as the sky was filled with mass. I saw numbers and letters and lingering against the emptiness was the quiet hum of the Everlasting. From the weakest vantage I begged the Infinite to watch the world unfold, but He bid me away and in a third person view I saw the world end.
You should have forgiven me...
She whispers-“You aren’t well” as we’re watching him through the window. The man was sitting across from us; his hands folded gently in his lap betrayed no hint of this sickness, yet his leg tapped quietly at a furious pace. She leaned in this time, her lips slightly trembling as she spoke at a volume barely audible-“I went through the looking glass, but I couldn’t find you in such darkness.” He registered no movement, none whatsoever, beyond the continuous tapping, the gentle rapping of his bare foot against the cold tiled floor.
I could see the tears building, the floodgate allowed but one drop and it ran with precision, carefully charting its course down her cheek till her lips tasted the salty solution. She didn’t move, still leaned in upon his neck, nor did she lick away the drop coating her quivering lip. He was motionless now, his leg caught in between a movement. Her eyes stuck fast against the rising torment in her heart did not notice the lack of slapping nor the quick tempo rocking.
Courage yet came over her and in a moment of undeniable hurt she spoke the most moving words I had ever heard-“I love you.”
Silence.
The Mirror silently shattered.
“I know.”
may the darkness take all of you, all you who tasted the apple and damned us all...
