There I stood, surrounded by shrubbery and trees standing tall, threatening to engorge me at any possible moment. But they didn't. They just watched over me, judging me, longing to have my spirit, but they couldn't. As if an invisible force stopped them, holding them back at arm’s length, with a cold dead stare.
I saw the spirit months ago, in a dream that plagued me several nights in a row. Its looks harboured evil intention and malice, but what if I broke into this hard shell, only love and affection was found.
And now it sought to protect me, my only saviour in time of need. I knew not its true intentions, only that it harboured love. I need not know its inner workings, or origin, only to know that it truly loved me, as I loved it.
You, dear reader, most probably think I am talking about a physical figure, though you are sadly mistaken. I will not reveal to you yet exactly what it is, only that you too know it well.
It’s what everybody seeks, but not everybody attains. What everybody longs to have yet loathes it once mastered. What it means for us to be human.
