She who wanders through the world alone, yet surrounded by those who care. She locks herself away from them. Closing herself off from their wants, desires. She'd rather live in a world of her own. Devoid of caring, of feeling. Where no hurt is allowed, no pain, no suffering. But, tis a world without joy, love, happiness. She walks in her world alone not daring to see whats around her Her eyes and ears closed, a wall around her heart. Carefully she guards her world, her place. Then one day, there's this sound. A cracking noise, scraping, tumbling. She turns and looks to see a crack in the wall. A ray of light pushing, forcing its way through. Soon she sees, that its not the light breaking through. But, tis him, bathed in the light from behind. Who dare come into her world? Who would dare break into her place? She turns to face him, fend him off. She tries to rebuild the wall. But he grasps her hands, holding her firm. Making her see him, to open her eyes and look. She looks up at him, her eyes widen at the sight. For she sees him, the things he offers to her. The world around her begins to shake and twist. She hears the rumble as the walls start to crumble. The roar of the rubble hitting the ground. She shades her eyes from the sudden brightness. The light of life and love pours into her world. Piercing the shadows, chasing them away. Her eyes adjust and she looks up to see him. He stands there with outstretched hand, smiling. She tentatively reaches for his hand, trembling. He holds her hand tenderly as she steps out of the debris. They slowly make their way across the crumbling walls. Finding a path to a larger world together. Side by side they travel now, he no longer leading. She no longer hiding in the shadows. She raises her face to the light. Her smile radiant as she turns to him. She tries to thank him for breaking through. He quiets her words, he tells her, he had to. That his world was not complete without her. Thanks are not needed for the joy is shared. Their love blossoms freely in the expanding world. It forces other walls to crumble in its path. Together they forge ahead, to a new life. New paths lay before them, choices. Such a wondrous thing life can be. If you choose to walk through the door, the gate. Move beyond the walls that confine you. See what else is there, who is there. She was lucky in that he found her hidden there. He could have walked blindly on without seeing. Find the hidden treasures in your life. Treat them with respect, caring and understanding. Show them compassion and love, forgiveness. Watch them grow, your love grow without boundaries. You'll find yourself rich beyond all expectations. For each time you give of yourself, You may loose but you may win, its a gamble. When you win you'll find it returned ten fold.
