Velut Luna

The man walks into the center of the trees, a light wind blows gently through the leaves, creating a silent murmur that echos with the far away crack of the fire burning at his feet. Gently he folds his robe around him and sits down. He looks up at the moon shining through the branches above him, it's guiding light shows him the way he must go... 4

turn around 5

smell what you don't see 6

close your eyes its ok 7

8

The flames flare up into the sky and he follows the red embers as they rise up into the sky, watching as they disappear one by one. All his life he has spent believing what only his eyes can see, never knowing that the world is full of mysterious miracles. Now he knows, your heart can see what your mind cannot, your soul knows the way... 9

here's a mirror behind there is a screen 10

on both ways you can get in 11

12

His soul knew the way, the only difference between him and others is his understanding that a man can only be himself when he knows that he himself is something that will never be understood. The quest for truth is not as important as how it is achieved. Many paths lead to the same answer, many paths look the same... 13

don't think twice before you listen to your heart 14

follow the trace for a new start 15

16

This path took him on a journey that he never would have thought possible. A journey into his own life so beyond comprehension that even now sitting here with the fire burning and the sweet music of the wind he doesn't believe his life was ever so wondrous. He has followed his heart, and his life was good.... 17

what you need and everything you feel 18

its just a question of the deal 19

20

The decision to walk the path and make his choice did not come without a price, and he knows that now. Every choice he made, every decision an agony of consequences. Yet he knows that he has made the right ones, the only price he paid was the years spent searching for the answers, never realising he knew them already... 21

in the eye of storm you will see a lonely dove 22

the experience of survival is the key to the gravity of love 23

24

Yet this price he paid was years of his life, and his love. To wander about wondering what to do next is as good as wandering within a desert. Spend not one minute thinking of why, but think of how and when. The moment the choice has been made, take action, that is his knowledge now, his key 25

the path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom 26

27

His key showed him that you can never have enough. Never enough of love, never enough of peace, never enough of all the good things in life. When all your soul screams for release, be serene, as he is now... 28

try to think about it 29

that's the chance to live your life and discover what it means 30

its the gravity of love 31

32

The man glances at the fire, their flames burning both in front of him and within him. He feels the luminous realisation that all men must discover. Yet some don't, and they live their lives ignorant of the wonder that they are, by merely being alive a single breath can hold as much truth as all the philosophies in the world... 33

look around the people, can you hear the voice? 34

find the one who will guide you to the limits of your choice 35

36

Loneliness is a bane and a curse, for each person there is another, a single person who knows you as much as you do. Listen with your heart within the multitudes of men and women, one will be your guide. Find that person... he knows this now... 37

if you're in the eye of the storm, just think of the lonely dove 38

the experience of survival is the key to the gravity of love 39

40

The man breathes slowly and casts his eye up to the moon, unblinking its light shines upon him as a guiding light. All through his struggling mind and his heart wrenching journeys throughout himself, there was always that single thing that never changes. When times were rough and he thought it was never going to end, a single image filled his mind.... 41

And so he knows now, everything he thought was wrong with him was in fact his only source of stability, when he doubted himself, that was his faith. 42

To be different is what gives you strength, you shall never become lost in the eye of the storm...43

Author notes

Wrote this while listening to Enigma - Gravity of Love. Really an inspirational piece of music IMHO.

    I'm assuming that the words in italics are the lyrics to the song? Whether yes or no, the poem type thing ties in really well with your story. And the story ties in really well with the poem type thing. It's like.. a mutual knot of deep truths.
    I'm going to stop now, before i start making no sense whatsoever. Great work, as usual.
