I walk alone this empty wide path with thick mosses covering the ground. The mist mixed in the wind touches my face as tiny pieces of flakes fall from above. I entwined my hand together and blow warm breathes. Looking in this plain wide place with vast surrounding of nothingness. I come to question myself to why am I here, alone walking without any route. Hesitant and scared I move forward to seek a light that could shine this dark space. A light that can bright all four corners of this vast wide.
Careful as I am, I nearly bump into a wall. At last I already came to the first side. I ask myself again to why it's so easy to reach this side and so determination born inside of me. I set again to reach the other side of this four corner. Walking to the vines scattered on the ground, my feet become numb. Wounds and thorns deepening in my skin makes blood spit out. I wince and grimace covered my face. As time came on anger rises out of me. Why! It's so easy to reach the first side then why vines scattered here?! Is fate joking with me right now! Is God mocking me right now?! Damn this path! Damn this vines blocking me from moving forward! I harshly stomp my feet hard ignoring the thorny spikes sinking in my bare feet. Not long after my face turns to normal when I saw the familiar light. At last! The end is within my sight. I stop for a bit and ask myself again if I should continue or not. This corner that provides me food and shelter to live. A fresh water that you rarely see in this place. I wonder if I just settle here, is there something good will happen? I shook my head and down for my final decision. Keep on moving.
Darkness eating the light as I walk away from that corner. Mix feelings of regret and unsureness eating my insides that prevent me from noticing the unruly path I'm heading. Going left then right, this path seems don't have an ending. But not far from where I am, I could see a table in the middle with food, water and fortune I never imagine.
"Would you give me the chance to walk the path you're going? In return, I'll give you everything on this table", a lady covered with white light that dancing together with her hair. A beauty that you rarely see personally. Her smile gives tingling feeling of safety and goodness but something doesn't fit in with her offer. Why does want the chance of walking this path if she can freely do so? I look at the fortune I never imagine I will see with my own two eyes. The food that I'm seeing for the first time. I gulp for a few times and reaching the table. I guess I could settle myself here than finishing this complicated path. Someone grab my wrist and mist of black haze covering it. I got startled and grab my wrist back when a hoarse icy voice begun talking.
"Dont. Move forward. " When he finish his words the white light covering the lady diminished into none and her hair straight out like a spear. Her beauty that I admired had gone and scars covered it. The safety warm feeling coming from her turned into an intent with the murderous aura. Simply speaking, she turned into a witch! I tremble not because I'm scared from the being infront of me but from the thinking of I almost lost my chance of continuing my journey. The witch started to attack and pull a spear from her hair. I brace myself for the upcoming attack that could take away my life. I close my eyes and pray. "Is this my last phase? ", I said. Waiting for the spear I drown myself into thinking. Why does it took so long to reach me. After a long dwelling in my mind, I decided to open my eyes. From a squinting shape turns into a round. The being. And the witch. With her own spear. Got pinned into the ground. Four spears struck into her heart blocking her movements while the being that covered with black haze got a wing. A bleeding wing of spear in his back. Suddenly, tears gushes out of my face. Why save someone like me you only saw for the first time? Why save someone you barely know? As if he heard my thoughts, he turn to face me.
"Because I know you more than you know yourself and I know you will do it. I believe in you", he smiled. The black haze covering him slowly scattered away. The hoarse icy voice I once got frightened into became gentle and pure. My tears flow like running water and his blood oozing from his back. He motioned me to move forward and wishes good luck. I wipe my tears and decided to move on. I will never let him go down after what he did for me. After facing so many trials, I reach the third side. I didn't stop for so long and continue for my last journey.
Serpents, lions and even poisons can't stop me. Mazes and labyrinths will be easy. As long as You are with me, I'll surpass anything. With you believing in me, I could be in the greatest cloud nine.
He who believe in me, guarding me from harm. He who believe in me making me realize what's right from wrong. He who believes in me, I will never let Him down. For He is the Almighty Father, the reason why I am right now. Completed my goal, and standing beside Him now.
