The Healing

 

It's warm and glowing

Here...

In the Silver Sea

I am

For eternity

Floating

Caressed 

By spiralling ripples

A hand lifts

Touches the face

Ahh...

Smooth and soft

Eyelids flicker

Remembering...

With coral and kelp

On the wounds

I'd lain

Here

In this Soothing Silverness

Now

I rise from the silky Waters

And look around...

The Storyteller finds themself

Standing on a glittering shore

Their long hair dances in the breeze

They glance down...

The Voice lies there

Amongst the pebbles

Recognised, the Voice leaps

Into the Storyteller's Heart!

Ahh...

A wooden staff appears in my hand

I take a step

The Voice in the Heart sings

"Keep going, my Love, keep going!"

Healed, The Storyteller

Walks the World
