(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.) 938Please respect copyright.PENANAttATDlqS2Q
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.938Please respect copyright.PENANApdu6mDzowW
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.938Please respect copyright.PENANAadIU28j9Bh
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.938Please respect copyright.PENANAI8qcbmEP9L
The child did not exist.938Please respect copyright.PENANARPV2lGq8bR
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.938Please respect copyright.PENANAxRaY3kIBMc
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAocrF63bU39
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.938Please respect copyright.PENANAnDiJMlacg5
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.938Please respect copyright.PENANAH2PUd5GcLc
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.938Please respect copyright.PENANAuBFzHIIsSf
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.938Please respect copyright.PENANAc7it03m9Vu
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.938Please respect copyright.PENANAtDRA7qyfTo
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.938Please respect copyright.PENANAVuG7L4uAAs
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.938Please respect copyright.PENANAjzj9aQ6Bi2
Until one day...938Please respect copyright.PENANAIOyvCQ0rRF
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.938Please respect copyright.PENANANo82dhc3DM
A roaring storm raged around him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAaeRk1dloXp
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.938Please respect copyright.PENANAnxT6af1nBc
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.938Please respect copyright.PENANA4m5jtV2JR3
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAHTOac1eAb6
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.938Please respect copyright.PENANAq38YzWYYmw
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.938Please respect copyright.PENANAUKmmqWSrPR
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.938Please respect copyright.PENANANse3nOERm8
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.938Please respect copyright.PENANAPzrZKqACvW
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.938Please respect copyright.PENANAPS4xqsUgDZ
The child opened his eyes.938Please respect copyright.PENANAarLS5aKphP
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAKDVHZeb29k
A figure of a man walked towards him.938Please respect copyright.PENANAuAssy568Gr
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAkhRx4frEpM
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.938Please respect copyright.PENANAYbTFGGi3fc
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."938Please respect copyright.PENANAnQYRFMFzez
938Please respect copyright.PENANApe3w3h8l7D
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.938Please respect copyright.PENANAgVi8OKAAgt
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?938Please respect copyright.PENANAvXZGpiZXWf
938Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ohx6mCYPR
"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.938Please respect copyright.PENANA4Si2rmZ4wd
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.938Please respect copyright.PENANAcovJofVCKD
"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."938Please respect copyright.PENANAnyZsdQJ19u
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.938Please respect copyright.PENANAUB6suUjnJP
938Please respect copyright.PENANAicHGnHwd90
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.938Please respect copyright.PENANAz9BQczGnR6
"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.938Please respect copyright.PENANADJUN08Z3Ad
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.938Please respect copyright.PENANAkDqUWF4d1w
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."938Please respect copyright.PENANAmiKAGDRJ5w
"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. 938Please respect copyright.PENANA5ko1267hLp
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.938Please respect copyright.PENANAyhKNnXLlEx
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.938Please respect copyright.PENANAWK280QmABR
938Please respect copyright.PENANA1ga3HDSwS2
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.938Please respect copyright.PENANACa3FT7YlmZ
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.938Please respect copyright.PENANAWIkM9jfx7N
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.938Please respect copyright.PENANASNGfphKbBS
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.938Please respect copyright.PENANAo2eGqjnflH
"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."938Please respect copyright.PENANA0svUb1uQIV
"Thank you..." replied the child.938Please respect copyright.PENANAnflMcL5nD9
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.938Please respect copyright.PENANA5Pp0FwH8zu
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.938Please respect copyright.PENANADG38WHhMoe
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.938Please respect copyright.PENANAVhukZsOkV7
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.938Please respect copyright.PENANA1LhyugZJmm
He smiled peacefully.938Please respect copyright.PENANAd4QmRJtw8l
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. 938Please respect copyright.PENANAuMbiOM2Q3q
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.938Please respect copyright.PENANAlkIFxlJ1bQ
