To Follow the Light
Shining through the darkness
Cutting into the woods
She saw it …
That unusual light
What was it?
Where did it lead?
Who is there?
All questions she
asked each time
the light presented
itself …
Yet never taking
time to answer them
One sleepless night
deep after midnight
she wandered into
the woods and there
it was …
shining on the path
leading her…
challenging her…
daring her…
to follow
Without knowing how
she arrived suddenly
there was a small
softly lit cottage in
front of her begging
her to come inside
Carefully, she walked
onto the small porch
and looked inside
to find a cozy fire and
welcoming room she
could not resist entering
On the hearth sat a
mug of honeyed tea
and a plate of sweet breads
Did she dare?
Was she intruding?
Who lived here and
where were they?
Hearing a tiny sound,
she turned and saw the
cottage’s resident …
“Come in my child,”
“I have waited for
a long time for you
to come,” stated the
tiny elderly woman.
“Sit, eat, drink,”
“Your training is
about to begin, and
your life will be
forever changed.”
