(I was inspired by this brilliant piece of music, and I recommend Lacey Sturm's music and the band she once was the singer for known as Flyleaf.) 1228Please respect copyright.PENANAsQuRMOmhaC
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAVKHs25x9Ti
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAfMJXCEcxNk
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAPQYo5RxmR3
The child did not exist.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAUbJB8W7t6A
Though he lived and breathed in the world of every human, he was unfamiliar with the concepts of the world, for before his birth he was made nonexistent and his soul was brought to a world that could only half-exist.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAM1PIS9eCIF
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAElVK8AaK27
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZNxwZ3P7F
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.1228Please respect copyright.PENANARAFnJiDXiY
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAFCxnUznefK
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAHafGIpsr4Z
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAGsShu7f4kV
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAlApGG03lLf
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAUatcvFQR9z
Until one day...1228Please respect copyright.PENANAveb26R3zTw
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAdxpMgVfngi
A roaring storm raged around him.1228Please respect copyright.PENANALrzJVS3tbg
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA221VzgURCB
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAlmyBgEejzn
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA5GR6pKtQ1H
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAEJrZibX9ba
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAWN2CNR45vs
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAHEdZMJLDu5
He had lost all hope of ever dreaming and he had decided that the only way to ever feel alive was for him to die.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9OGkRGZX5
As he looked down where only jagged rocks like knives lay, he breathed a silent sentence and let himself fall with the tears that he had held inside for so long.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAuIxKPR88Sp
The child opened his eyes.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAkimdCFVZD1
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAThxfvHBF0s
A figure of a man walked towards him.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAfYDyxHE3QW
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 1228Please respect copyright.PENANAt36qblTUp2
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAQeeDoXC0I2
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."1228Please respect copyright.PENANASMjffqS1Kr
1228Please respect copyright.PENANAwrzLBw9Vl2
The child, who trembled at the sight of the man and all of his brilliance, stared at him with eyes that grew with a wonder.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA6qtr2V6HXZ
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?1228Please respect copyright.PENANA1YVpzXE6S3
1228Please respect copyright.PENANARAvl5xhtDL
"Do not hold onto to the pains of your past and what others say to you, for words of no worth fade in the end." said the man.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA1u4UtkcUQe
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAGmh82qVB1q
"You may feel alone in your battle in this life, with everyone you meet trying their best to bring you down, but if you hold onto the One who was given you life, you will never be alone."1228Please respect copyright.PENANACgv8iTePhA
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAZYlj0pvn3i
1228Please respect copyright.PENANAOAd7OZ6Cto
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAdvlrdCrvDw
"My child, you do have a purpose. You have a purpose that comes in the form of a dream. You have been given this dream so that you may fulfill it, but not alone.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAmKH1H4r9be
For every dream is created so that it may glorify the Lord above, and if man was to accomplish a dream alone, the dream would become dead. The Lord has been waiting for you to let Him into you so that your questioning of existence may cease and that you may find rest in Him.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jkvf5dIKA
You do exist, even if others don't believe that you do. You do not exist because of them, but because of the One who was died for you."1228Please respect copyright.PENANAJMxVvENaKf
"I...I..." began the boy. His voice trembled and tears began to fall. The words of the man had pierced though a storm that was dark and horrid, a storm that haunted the boy. 1228Please respect copyright.PENANAuBkgVtYDbR
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAnXJDvi3IYG
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA1HSllA1PdS
1228Please respect copyright.PENANARTWcoa8kWt
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAunx65Y4YCP
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAB7tU0a4D74
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAZzjatWpwMH
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.1228Please respect copyright.PENANABK0Nl3pvT1
"I tell you this, your pain and trials of this life are far from over, but you will never be alone, for I have felt all your pain and I shall stand with you till and after your end has come."1228Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yw7shYHXJ
"Thank you..." replied the child.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAjme3bDkxvc
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1QIhir2dY
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.1228Please respect copyright.PENANA7LKOqmo7yA
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAn4ZShV1Mrt
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAgJntm2WpMZ
He smiled peacefully.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAPrgxHxcuBm
For he, the man who had once not existed, had found a purpose though the storm that had held under waters of chaos for so long. 1228Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q1DAcT9UE
He found something to hold onto, something to keep him breathing, something to keep him alive...and he was going to chase it till the end if his days.1228Please respect copyright.PENANAtWwsce7hJV
