In my mind there lies a place, there is a face in this place that now one can erase. This face reminds me of a world, long forgotten and buried by the sands of time. This world was once new bristling with life and undivided justice, then on the horizon came forth a dark cloud in the distance. Laying down thunderous increments of death and sorrow it covered the land. Thousands of years pass as the light faded from this world, unable to see, the life was blinded. Fallen into a forsaken life and crushed by lethal temptation this life is now burdened with a cancer of creation. One day amongst the darkness a young mind looked to the sky and asked a question beyond himself, suddenly a small hole formed in the dark shedding the smallest beam of light. Touching down upon his head, it crept inside of him and the hole vanished. Almost instantly his heart raced his mind bellowed in despair for his eyes were finally open. He found himself standing in a world of woe, creatures spitting greed dark eyes and swollen tongues, they could no longer see him as one of them, he no longer heard their sluggish tones and brackish language. He was discarded as trash from their world and thrown to the gutter, so he trekked out among the land finding nothing but more shallow minds and darkened eyes, he wept worn tear for their unseeing eyes. As the tear cascaded towards the earth it refracted a small piece of light that shone from the young minds eye. When it struck the ground it gave life to a shrivelled flower, as the flower awoke it grew in size and Color illuminating the earth around it. The boy fell to his knees as he watched the black ones move by never even casting a glance at what he had awoken, knowing this he thought, what can I do to show these colorless creatures that there is something else something greater to have in this life if they choose not to see even something such as this. One more tear passed through the duct of emotion, it fell just as the other did but this time it shaved off the flower caressing an old mans shoe. This man, very set in his ways stopped at this moment and turned back around seeing nothing he looked to his shoe. Everything normal hear he thought, the boy watching him with great hope, then suddenly a spark flew and a crack became evident as the weakness grew more pieces starting breaking free sending quivers of light through this man as quick as the crack formed it spread until the old man looked as if the light shining through him was going to completely destroy. With fear in his mind the boy reached out and touched the man on the finger as if some sort of ripple emanated out of his hand into the mans the pieces of dark fell all at once and he's saw underneath an old man with the whitest beard, bluest deep eyes and soft smile. The boy returned the gesture as the man (feeling a hundred years younger) lifted the boy in the air swirled him around and said. Who thought, this whole life had been a prison, and this world Leiden with sadness. Young mind may I say, how on earth did this come to be, the boy say with a wise tone "for once I thought beyond myself and the world filled my heart with light, the only thing left to do was lift the darkness and set them free" thank you boy the man said with a whisper. They road off together touching the hearts and minds of all who came to them lifting the curse on this planet they walked till the end of time. This is the face inside my mind and how it will unwind the sorrow of this world.
