She stood there on the brink of the endless sea, and thought about how apt it was, for the turmoil in her mind was like that sea. As the waves crashed upon the shore, so did her confusion and indecision crash upon the shore of her consciousness.
A single tear began in the corner of an eye, and began to forge a trail down the contours of her cheek. She did not know where to go from here. She did not know where to turn. The emptiness in her heart and soul echoed the emptiness and the vastness before her.
With a final blinking tear, and a heart-wrenching sigh, she turned from the waters, and started home. Somehow, despite everything, despite the hopelessness that threatened to consume her, she began to step. Somehow, her feet began to take her down a new path, even if her soul didn't yet know the way. |
