Struck By Lightning

[71degrees]

Something is here, here beyond the veil of understanding.
It hides its face and yet with familiar voice calls out from the dark.

"Step forward, curious child, and embrace the unseen. Chase the mystery that beckons."

Into the abyss I run, until beams of light pierce the veil of shadows. What figure stands at the other side, a face unseen with voice so familiar? Is it you who brings me here? Or do I run to you at my heart's own yearning? What is it that I search for in the world with no answer?

As I finally reach my destination, I see but a mirror with a smiling reflection, and the search ends. I have found myself; I am the answer that I seek.

The Biblical implications are pretty cool. I like the echo of "here" b/c, well, it is "here" the reader will find the answer. Repeating it helps me. It doesn't matter if I agree w/this piece or not as long as the narrator does, and the way this is written, the narrator does. It actually has a start, a middle, and an end (destination). Pretty short trip, but since the narrator is smiling at the end, it must have been worth the trip

I'd like to think this is a smaller of a much longer piece. As Christians start Advent, Isaiah is in full swing. This reminds me of him. Thanks for posting.
