(I was inspired by this brilliant piece of music, and I recommend Lacey Sturm's music and the band she once was the singer for known as Flyleaf.) 793Please respect copyright.PENANAVCeOJZywSm
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.793Please respect copyright.PENANA4zq84fM3LX
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.793Please respect copyright.PENANArpHrc5Zhl4
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.793Please respect copyright.PENANAkj6mld2gxh
The child did not exist.793Please respect copyright.PENANADMZxiYEGIN
Though he lived and breathed in the world of every human, he was unfamiliar with the concepts of the world, for before his birth he was made nonexistent and his soul was brought to a world that could only half-exist.793Please respect copyright.PENANANRFEucKmp9
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.793Please respect copyright.PENANAkrjW0r17Gf
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.793Please respect copyright.PENANArMFpc2uqYN
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.793Please respect copyright.PENANAOS3k2I5vil
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.793Please respect copyright.PENANAr0l3tg6q7E
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.793Please respect copyright.PENANAolKPparri8
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.793Please respect copyright.PENANAMrR0BNMJJW
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.793Please respect copyright.PENANAEkXJnn3fyN
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.793Please respect copyright.PENANApJmp7jBfdQ
Until one day...793Please respect copyright.PENANAZRquMXcSna
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.793Please respect copyright.PENANAaUM7IB0Cc2
A roaring storm raged around him.793Please respect copyright.PENANAeDIxETLTeG
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.793Please respect copyright.PENANASqjsM3ZlJU
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.793Please respect copyright.PENANAbqJpEKsGmV
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.793Please respect copyright.PENANA6S2L3O5lL1
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.793Please respect copyright.PENANAOVW63RF04C
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.793Please respect copyright.PENANAMErnEwO5Uz
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.793Please respect copyright.PENANAGAc8yCiMDm
He had lost all hope of ever dreaming and he had decided that the only way to ever feel alive was for him to die.793Please respect copyright.PENANA43j38NS8Hu
As he looked down where only jagged rocks like knives lay, he breathed a silent sentence and let himself fall with the tears that he had held inside for so long.793Please respect copyright.PENANArZMYgymJq3
The child opened his eyes.793Please respect copyright.PENANAgVkpmd6hqT
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.793Please respect copyright.PENANAxvrhcdMzXg
A figure of a man walked towards him.793Please respect copyright.PENANABSBAE55YV9
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 793Please respect copyright.PENANA8IfWK9SYil
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.793Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ar10D2Niz
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."793Please respect copyright.PENANAoNmvAHbBVI
793Please respect copyright.PENANAeDO1QLFmJ1
The child, who trembled at the sight of the man and all of his brilliance, stared at him with eyes that grew with a wonder.793Please respect copyright.PENANA5CWkXxb0qY
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?793Please respect copyright.PENANAcY750DY3GI
793Please respect copyright.PENANAqUgcXY7hlm
"Do not hold onto to the pains of your past and what others say to you, for words of no worth fade in the end." said the man.793Please respect copyright.PENANA5twSMcu37B
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.793Please respect copyright.PENANAii06epzouh
"You may feel alone in your battle in this life, with everyone you meet trying their best to bring you down, but if you hold onto the One who was given you life, you will never be alone."793Please respect copyright.PENANAxYQg9Qdiao
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.793Please respect copyright.PENANAVbTHJbxeBL
793Please respect copyright.PENANAuipkJE5zIM
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.793Please respect copyright.PENANAcgkMesxbh0
"My child, you do have a purpose. You have a purpose that comes in the form of a dream. You have been given this dream so that you may fulfill it, but not alone.793Please respect copyright.PENANAAu0jUXTMQ2
For every dream is created so that it may glorify the Lord above, and if man was to accomplish a dream alone, the dream would become dead. The Lord has been waiting for you to let Him into you so that your questioning of existence may cease and that you may find rest in Him.793Please respect copyright.PENANAsy0Og0U98L
You do exist, even if others don't believe that you do. You do not exist because of them, but because of the One who was died for you."793Please respect copyright.PENANAgxWtWtY8Os
"I...I..." began the boy. His voice trembled and tears began to fall. The words of the man had pierced though a storm that was dark and horrid, a storm that haunted the boy. 793Please respect copyright.PENANAq0j3b52WW9
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.793Please respect copyright.PENANA20m6SOEcxd
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.793Please respect copyright.PENANApW3tb1yerK
793Please respect copyright.PENANAPtEOfoIkfL
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.793Please respect copyright.PENANAgGZoUlV1NA
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.793Please respect copyright.PENANA0fsBnnTeGV
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.793Please respect copyright.PENANAOMVMMjL51C
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.793Please respect copyright.PENANAgqz5SDVart
"I tell you this, your pain and trials of this life are far from over, but you will never be alone, for I have felt all your pain and I shall stand with you till and after your end has come."793Please respect copyright.PENANALUppJpxtDK
"Thank you..." replied the child.793Please respect copyright.PENANAkowl1uoXXG
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.793Please respect copyright.PENANAka09K5PpCx
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.793Please respect copyright.PENANAdEFU5hBHgY
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.793Please respect copyright.PENANAiASQ9lrSIX
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.793Please respect copyright.PENANAr91QoJ2G1C
He smiled peacefully.793Please respect copyright.PENANAKCJkpsnMhj
For he, the man who had once not existed, had found a purpose though the storm that had held under waters of chaos for so long. 793Please respect copyright.PENANA7k2CnghbLI
He found something to hold onto, something to keep him breathing, something to keep him alive...and he was going to chase it till the end if his days.793Please respect copyright.PENANAHlsXKWIcuK
