When Darkeness Breathes...

XXVII. Creation

Everything as far as I could see was pure, raw and beautiful life. Creation was on the level of fantasy,the beauty was magnificent. And those around me, the ones that I loved and those lost, those coming out of their sleep were just as real and beautiful as I was. Human life having moved from the clay and dust and had become a thing of Leight. Such beauty I can not truly describe, upon awakening, from the most beautiful dream. I shed what was left of myself, coming out of a molten amber and I was free. All of the restraints of my human life, my human form removed.

My soul, the beauty of our Leight, had now taken a glorious form. Skin shed. I glowed, a translucent peachy gold, the pure energy of spirit, flowing through my energized form. Pure beauty in its place. I tingled, a kind of raw energy, but comfortably, not painful. It was a sense of belonging, belonging to everything around me. I no longer had a distinct sex, I just was, and love flowed through me as freely as breathing. We were the same, all of us the same. And we could love whom ever we wanted. Shifting my gaze, I looked around and I could see other crystalis' around me,other people that we changing, but not completely finished yet. The world, oh how it had changed...

I did not know how long I had been in my change, but this is what Earth must have looked like in the beginning. Free of all pollution, free of all taint. The grass was so green, it tingled as I connected with it, bare footed, a silent communication. The earth was alive, a living sentient Being whose life force and heartbeat, beat right back at me. Once again, I could see the essence of earth, the trees reaching out, touching. The life force communicating between grass and trees. The force was flowing back and forth in the breeze, reaching clear up to sway against my knees. The forest standing tall and proud, welcoming. The blue of the sky, an azure that was rich with clouds of glorious marshmallow that were tinted rose and gold. It was a world that one could only dream of, but was real.

I walked out further,searching...searching for something, something that was unsettling my content, though I did not know what it was. I knew that I was safe,knew that no evil would ever touch us, any of us, ever again. But the call was strong, a vibration that reverberated throughout my entire being. I moved on and continued forward. Through field, under glorious swaying trees, until I returned to more field of green grass. Finally coming to rest along a stream, the gleam of silverfish darting to and fro in its depths. The water so clear, so pure. I took a sip and felt liquid ambrosia. The sweetest honey. I was in perfection, paradise. This was Heaven.

The breeze was warm, coming to me from behind, and I felt the pull, knew that was had brought me here, was behind me. I turned.

He looked much the same as me. Beauty and peace. Translucent yet solid. But the world yielded before him,like he sowed the fabric of reality itself, and it clung to him. He smiled and a million stars burst in unison. His hand reaching out for mine.

"Welcome home." He said. And I knew I had finally arrived.
