(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.) 979Please respect copyright.PENANAsZM5JACkCK
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.979Please respect copyright.PENANAdUW0bztaF9
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.979Please respect copyright.PENANAlDI1lT5U28
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.979Please respect copyright.PENANAGGKWYRzBKk
The child did not exist.979Please respect copyright.PENANANDXFsLguI9
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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAGhmyoEj0X2
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.979Please respect copyright.PENANA6MtNtQvFLG
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.979Please respect copyright.PENANA7FnB91ks7j
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.979Please respect copyright.PENANA4gpYigggIV
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.979Please respect copyright.PENANAMYy976xBTx
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.979Please respect copyright.PENANA9TfVjhYrMx
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.979Please respect copyright.PENANAdsyuneMo6x
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.979Please respect copyright.PENANA1xWZhv0CvS
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.979Please respect copyright.PENANAwpXyXmsb15
Until one day...979Please respect copyright.PENANAtPkykvSKoe
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.979Please respect copyright.PENANAUimHvvKWBu
A roaring storm raged around him.979Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ3FVCnjY0
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.979Please respect copyright.PENANAYCQGI4nYR6
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.979Please respect copyright.PENANAVEZugQSLld
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.979Please respect copyright.PENANAgW2Xq8KyWO
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.979Please respect copyright.PENANAxoA876ftz8
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.979Please respect copyright.PENANAG1Buy8W4r1
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.979Please respect copyright.PENANAqbqEm5Pojo
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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAvxG1dAEqRX
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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAwDJ4Ykf7Xz
The child opened his eyes.979Please respect copyright.PENANAfpYwTu32xl
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.979Please respect copyright.PENANAHOKlZSWPPW
A figure of a man walked towards him.979Please respect copyright.PENANAaRGRW0arYy
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 979Please respect copyright.PENANA8euskjg0Km
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.979Please respect copyright.PENANATVe36jBpnr
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."979Please respect copyright.PENANAS8sIB3TWMF
979Please respect copyright.PENANAfMpmqY3MSK
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.979Please respect copyright.PENANA0CtQUvLAyM
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?979Please respect copyright.PENANAJIuYUR0gcE
979Please respect copyright.PENANATNnT5ZODed
"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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAOpkpySkKy0
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.979Please respect copyright.PENANAfHQMMw7r0z
"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."979Please respect copyright.PENANAdZUbplvxZD
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.979Please respect copyright.PENANAvH0f3U4bl1
979Please respect copyright.PENANAeqazn4Bove
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.979Please respect copyright.PENANANyr07StExy
"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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAsdyssGxzgW
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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAbkZ2jfkId5
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."979Please respect copyright.PENANARdx7xQTFkt
"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. 979Please respect copyright.PENANAdc4LEAhH6U
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.979Please respect copyright.PENANAsGS72hslkv
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.979Please respect copyright.PENANA9YUAC9HAoA
979Please respect copyright.PENANAPbrCmEabrC
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.979Please respect copyright.PENANA1G9XwrYFGJ
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.979Please respect copyright.PENANAhOopP66O7b
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.979Please respect copyright.PENANAqiY0XCmnst
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.979Please respect copyright.PENANAVRDjt2WIJL
"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."979Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ZhYocnnM
"Thank you..." replied the child.979Please respect copyright.PENANAkNIwuE4u94
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.979Please respect copyright.PENANAEwCBE2pSyN
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.979Please respect copyright.PENANAPBb3f7mctv
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.979Please respect copyright.PENANAT7RelduJit
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.979Please respect copyright.PENANAK75Whd9WDO
He smiled peacefully.979Please respect copyright.PENANAitPJPQvRrd
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. 979Please respect copyright.PENANATMqNbTl4GL
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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAh6opkZzkuq
