The Summons
Awake, but why?Long day, bones aching, I'd fallen asleep early - not my usual habit - and now snapped to attention by what? Lying wideeyed, waiting, looking out the naked window at the stars.
And then it came, the summons - soft but clear, swirling round me, almost palpable, a scarf of melody. I rose, went to the window, saw the moon; round and ripe it was, with an army of attendant stars veiled in cloud chiffon singing a sweetly silver song. 'Come,' they called. 'We wait for you.'
And so I dressed and went downstairs and stepped outside, but not into the dark familiar. Instead there stretched a walkway, rustic wood, winding its way across low hills of springtime flowers, enclosed so there could be no deviation. The moonlight lit the landscape like a floodlight; I could see no danger there.
And now I'm walking all alone toward that celestial set piece as the music of the heavens throbs and murmurs. I feel it in my bones; it courses through my veins, a warm sonata. There is no knowing what awaits me but I'm walking, obeying the summons. And I, so often in the past a coward, know this is not a dream, but I am not afraid. ~ copyright 2015 RC deWinter
