Mahal

Up there, amongst the clouds, my mind became nothing more than an anchor to the once situated reality of our world, the rope keeping me from falling to my inevitable death. There I stood, before the reward of my arduous task, ready to finally close this mysterious chapter of my life, and yet, my feet could not move, my breath slowed, and suddenly I remembered only you among the fading thoughts. So I felt for her, reaching across my pack, hoping I remembered to bring her, almost ready to panic as the sinking of my heart began, my breaths slowly began to race, yet there she was, safe in my hands, having been the charm which carried me here. Sheol, though you had gifted her to me so long ago, only now, after descending to the depths of my mind and rising to the top of the world, did I finally realize that she was your blessing, your sending off. I feared the drop of a tear, as I knew that it would merely freeze, yet I could not stop the ensuing ocean of sobs to follow. Here I had come, having traveled land and sea, and yet the one place I now wanted to be was far from me. However, I feel as though the picture would never be complete, as one thing was missing.

I could not see out of my right eye, and what lie behind it, I wrack my brain to find.
