The Unfinished Chapter - 76

Chapter 76

The icy path is white, pristine, pure
She walked, ever so slowly on the jagged pathway that ripped her delicate bare feet
Her slight, solitary figure was but an apparition in a land bathed in white
Silence
Was there a call?
Silence

Her bleeding feet left behind a maze of designs in red
Little pathways that were the only proof of her physical journey
She left nothing behind
She let parts of herself dissolve, dissolve in God’s beautiful nature
She left her kisses to the breeze, her hugs to the trees, her pain to the seas
Her heart, her soul, her spirit, they walked with her... for now

Time was irrelevant
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades
Everything tangible was measured, all things intangible are immortal, are forever
She put her delicate hand on her heart
It was beating, still
Icy glass blades continued to decorate the path ahead, she continued her solitary walk in pain, with pain

There were flowers too on this road
They were enveloped in ice
She bent, brushed a seemingly dead flower
It came to life, bringing colours of love to a landscape bathed in white
She smiled a little
Cupped her tiny flower in the palm of her hands, walked on

Tired, she was tired
She found a quiet corner in the far distance, she sat down, rested
She brought her knees to her chest, lay her head on her knees, hugged her slender frame
She looked at the path she’d walked thus far
The icy road was marked in her bright red blood
Some of it from her feet, some of it from her soul, most of it from her bleeding heart, which cried tears of blood

She closed her eyes, petted her heart, she was is, she is was...
