SDW: Day 4

We're already to day four?!?! Where has the time gone?


I lay quietly upon the naked earth.
The smell of the flowers fills my nostrils,
And the green grass tickles my face.
I am completely at peace in in this field.
I sigh contentedly as the breeze tousles my hair.
There is no time here... no deadlines.
There are no busy people milling about, and yet I am not alone.
There is a presence, so serene,
And so powerful.
The presence, it is the source of the peace.
The presence grows stronger, and I can feel it behind me,
As though it is human.
I roll over and smile when I find that
It was no human at all.
No, because the presence that stood before me
Was not of the flesh.
He is perfect, completely unsoiled
By an earthly thing.
He smiles at me,
And I laugh with pure joy.
He lies down beside me
And whispers in my ear.
We lie for unmeasured amounts of time
Just talking.
Finally, we both stand.
He gently takes my hand,
And we walk towards the never-ending sunrise.
I am home.



In this, I decided to use sunrise instead of sunset, because it represents a dawning of a new, glorious day. I didn't want to put sunset, because it seems to foreshadow a coming of darkness. Even though I love evenings and sunsets far more than sunrises, I figured a sunrise sounds more hopeful.
