Born In A Frozen State: No Axe Shall Touch Thee Now
Away it has
gone, yet its many years of preying upon me are not soon forgotten. Now that it
is gone, something so extremely valiant has stepped in. I have proudly
christened it as "6/21/08". It has suddenly appeared before me, in
the form of a dark blue apparition. A man stands proud before me, with his
staff in hand as two souls ride upon their steed. Women with their babies
appear, curious faces stare back at me while creatures of the wild stir throughout
the shadows.
The
"6/21/08" has revealed to me much that is unexplained within the
universe. It proves to me, a fact which states: “We are many parts, we
are all one body.” Thus, we are ALL the same, no matter whom, what, nor
where we are. Before my eyes tis’ gone, leaving me with so many questions
to ponder for many years.
Yet, I ask, as
well as wonder where it has gone. What has happened to this man? What has
happened to the mothers and their children? Where have all the animals of the
universe gone? Not long after I ask myself these many questions, it has
suddenly appeared once again! This time, it reveals its many faces, gazing down
upon me within the cloud and ever-changing skies above.
In absolute awe,
I truly believe it heard my curious thoughts of its disappearance. Thus, once
again revealing itself, to inform me it is always around and has not gone
anywhere. Over time, I begin to believe that whatever this is which has entered
my life, is protecting me in many forms. The more I dwell upon this, the more I
begin to believe, I am not at all who I think I am.
I flash back to
old memories which I have held onto for as long as I can remember. I begin to
wonder where I truly came from and where I was, in the beginning. I was very
small and recall the glorious, candlelit castle in which I had lived. Great
bonfires burned bright before the front of the castle, while another roared
beyond the trees, within the courtyard.
The stars and
moon had shone brightly as many men, women and children danced and sang merrily
all around the towering castle, which was completely surrounded by forests. A
dark haired women, dressed in yellow had taken care of me. The restless
Raccoon, which someone had caught and caged, paced back and forth. In daylight,
a girl with long brown and blonde hair rode sadly away from the castle as smoke
from the two enormous, now smoldering bonfires, arose from the pits and into
the clear blue sky.
I dwell upon
these many thoughts, wonders and memories for long periods of time. The more I
dwell, the more I feel it come back to me stronger and stronger. Many more
feelings, memories, thoughts and wonders begin to arise. In the meantime, I
feel it aching to reach me as it sends its messengers, the Crows, to guide me
as it delivers many messages to me throughout life.
Upon a cold,
dark night, I find myself attacked. As I lay upon my bed, I feel something so
extremely cold suddenly sweep over me. As it moves back and forth over me
repeatedly, my entire body tingled sharply. I attempt to move my right arm but
cannot, I find myself completely paralyzed. Before my eyes, I see myself
running from what appears to be the face of a beast from Hell. As I lay still,
feeling the sharp tingling, I suddenly see in very dark blue light, the face of
a demon. It disappears and reappears sweeping over me repeatedly until suddenly
I see its full figure!
Engulfed in
flames, it appears, standing erect before me in the form of a winged serpent,
complete with horns and tail. I feel myself raise my silver, red-crossed
shield. Completely protected, I hear the demon let out a sudden growl, followed
by a furious roar. Suddenly, the beast turns its back upon me and disappears
before my eyes.
A red mark
appears upon the inside of my right arm. It is a perfect, red circle, which lasts
for many days and nights. It causes me no harm, nor discomfort. Yet, I wonder
if the demon in which I had fought recognizes me as the one soul whom I do not
yet realize I am. Therefore, it has left its “bite” mark upon me,
not only in fury from battle, but as a warning.
