She saw the beautiful butterflies
the flowers and trees with fruits
very few she had seen
but many she had never known
the different colours left her marveled.
"Are you happy?"
Memories of screams
anguish, fear
beatings and cursings
rage, madness, betrayal
over and over asking for mercy
sometimes her head
smashed against the wall
fists splitting her lips
loosening her teeth
her body bruised, tired ....
She nodded picking a strange flower
it's sweet fragrance reaching her
she had never seen this one before
sweet songs came from strange beautiful birds
perching on trees as if singing to her
a humming bird circled her head.
"Are you satisfied?"
She remembered her loneliness
frustrations, desires
Her destructiveness in finding fulfillment
the people she loved, then hurt.
The selfishness inside
her addictions
the endless nights spent in tears
repeatedly begging for forgiveness
not knowing if this time
she'll ever be forgiven.
She smiled, "yes"
a white peacock with gold feathers passed
breathless with wonder she stared
beauty surrounding her
overwhelmed by it all
she picked a strange fruit and took a bite
her feet brushing by
the most strange beautiful flowers
she heard singing from a distant
the voices so sweet, they sounded like ......
"I love you."
She turned smiling at the man beside her
Love and concern showing deep in His eyes
fresh tears dropped down her cheeks
He wiped them gently with his fingers
she wanted to say something
even whisper back a word to him
but instead she fell on His shoulders crying
first she had mistaken Him for a gardener
but seeing His hands and feet
she knew it was her savior.
"Come, I'll take you to our fathers house."
