The land of fate

In the soft light of the candle I sit and my mind is wandering through the valleys of time.

My soul is searching for the one resembling me the most. On my way through the valleys and over the hills I meet several people and I look at them searchingly, if it is the one my heart and my soul are looking for.

So many people I meet and everyone close who is accompanying me seems connected with me. A silver band can be seen when we look close enough though. Soulmates we are somehow and hand in hand we walk together for a period of time until we have to part again to go our own way.

We have to walk alone a while to feel that it is important not to forget that although we might not see our companions they are still there, as we never walk alone.

Wandering through the valley of hope I am and far away I just thought I did see a familiar looking man. My soul cried out as it never did before and my heart did beat so fast it nearly made me fall.

I shook my head and did not want to believe and soon I wandered over the hills of grief.

Again and again I did see the image of him but my reality stroke back, made me think of other things.

My soul though knows now that he is there ... behind those valleys of despair. It led me through this emptiness, guided me through the swamps of loneliness.

My heart got burnt on the mountain top called "agony" and my feet stumbled in the town named "melancholy".

Now I wander on my road of life and my head I hold up high before I bow with a deep sigh.
I bow before the light of love, shown to me by an angel from up above.

My soul now cries and my heart it sings, I know now it is love that always wins.

"Love for yourself is the key to the lock that opens the gate you are now standing before ..."

This the angel spoke to me and with a smile he handed me the key.

The key in my hand, here I stand.
I've opened the gate to my wonderland.

All my companions are standing by my side and are smiling at me full of pride.

As one we step through the gate ...

"Welcome in the land of fate!"
