Darkness opened before her
A doorway to the abyss
The cool silk of the blackness
Encompassed her mind
Reaching inward to grip
Her very soul
It took a moment for her to realize
She wasn’t alone.
.
She could feel a presence
There in the chasm
Immense, powerful, ancient
Almost overwhelming
She caught her breath
As a consciousness probed
Her thoughts, fears, desires
And her body trembled.
.
A question formed in her mind
“Do you know what I am?”
.
“I believe I do, yes!”
She answered.
“But why am I here?
What do you want of me?”
.
Incomprehension flooded her mind
Followed by a rush of emotions
That she knew to be her own.
The onslaught staggered her
And she stumbled.
Something caught her
Gently, firmly and set her aright.
It felt smooth, warm, rigid.
.
“Are you able to stand?”
The question entered her mind.
.
“Yes! Emotions, you don’t know!”
.
In her mind an image took shape.
“You have a thing within your kind
It is not a thing of my kind
I do not require it to survive,
But I covet it!
And this is my puzzlement.
I do not understand this desire
For this thing within your kind.
Teach me?”

“In the teaching of this
There will be a transformation
In YOU!

“You have looked into my mind.
The answers you seek are there.”

“Yes, I have looked within you.
For a short time.
But in the merging of our minds
There will be a transformation
in YOU!”

"I am ready.”
She answered.

“Then let our minds mingle,
And the transformations begin.”

She felt herself being cradled
In a large hand
As a mother would cradle a child
She leaned back relaxed and waited.

I know where this is going and it could turn out to be a very long piece.

Words are my medicine.
Read and live and love and heal!
