The Gods, A Man & A Match
I awoke in the dream standing in the center of a modern roman crossroad, within this crossroad was a market, merchants filled the space, from one tanned limestone building to the next, set atop a coble stone street, people moved about but the only person I could notice was a handsome young man with lightly tanned skin, medium length dark brown hair, and his eyes, focused squarely upon me.
He sat atop a bike balancing on one leg as our eyes locked Suddenly I turned and began running, I weaved through crowds and around stands selling knickknacks and food , I ran into a huge store that looked something like a Wearhouse inside, I stopped distracted by the size of the “shop” then snapped out of it and continued to run only to stop seeing the boy had somehow caught up to me.
“how can you find me so –“he cuts me off
“I will always find you, no matter where you go, how much you push me away, I am yours now, I will follow” he said in a soft yet deep voice as he looked into my eyes captivating me.
“Don’t avoid me, I will always come to you”
“I hear you, I come to you, I follow you ,I’m here” he said softly as his eyes wondered my face then stopped at my eyes looking deeply within them.
I smiled mischievously and took off running through the store, passing isles only glancing back momentarily to see him following me again, I suddenly stopped by a door in the back of the building where a handsome grey haired older man with blue eyes was standing, he chuckled and opened the door telling me to “go this way”, I nodded and run out of the door.
As I step outside I see something like a semi covered loading dock that is half shaded in sheet metal and half in a thick chicken wire, much like a bird cage.
“The Bird always breaks free of her cage” a man’s deep voice echoed around me, or perhaps within the confines of my mind
I see a group of young people making their way through a hole in the bottom corner of the cage, I ran to catch up with them, as I made my way through the twisted and bent metal of the cage ,I looked back to see the young man now looking slightly different with darker hair and slightly different features, I made my way out in a hurry and turned running at an inhuman pace next to a very beautiful girl with long straight dark brown hair, dark tanned skin and brown eyes, she looked like a nymph yet in human form, she giggled and smiled at me as we ran across a field of grass threw a large lush park, with a sparkling lake ,surrounded by beautiful green trees and wooden park benches.
We stop at a small tan colored school with a red roof, I turned back seeing him there staring at me “I am over here, come to me when you are ready” I shout knowing he could hear me from more than a few football fields away, I turned to enter the school and as I walked through the door I entered another part of the dream.
I enter a living room, the details blurry to me but the young man was now standing next to me, a women who was supposed to be like my grandmother stood there infront of us scolding me, telling me how inappropriate this all was “you have no baring here, you do not dictate my life, I do, it is him, him” I told her angrily as I shoved an silver bucket full of silver items into her arms catching her by surprise, I grab his hand and walk out as another women screams in the distance for him to listen .
I awoke in a daze…
