Sanctuary

It was a cool evening. A soft breeze swept through the trees and a light rain misted the grass of the fields...The grass was as tall as a man stood tall and it gently swayed from side to side in the wind...it almost looked as if it was dancing shifting softly in the cool breeze...Deep inside the vast grasses sat a young girl...she was tucked away deep into the fields sitting in the tall grass totally surrounded and hidden from the world...this was a place of total peace...however as you looked into this young girls eyes you could see the wisdom of a thousand years...you could see the pain of a decade...and the tourture of many souls...how though could such a young girl have experienced so much in such a short life time...how could this girl have experienced the pain and sorrow of many twice her age...She sat in this field as a beautiful flower soaking in the last rays of the evening sun...her chin was dipped upwards towards the sky...she closed her eyes gently as the soft wind whipped her hair around her shoulders...this is the place where this girl would come to rest...her safe place...her sanctuary...the place where she could go where the rest of the world could not touch her...she was free here...from all of the worries and stresses of life...free from family...friends...and overwhelming situations...she could find perfect peace for her soul here...all of the pain from her own circumstances and from the circumstances of others which she burdened was allowed to slip away and her weary mind could rest from it's burdens...she felt lighter just being here hiding away from the world and from it's problems....she had lived the pain of many lifetimes in her short life...she had experienced things she hoped that she would never have to...just when she thought that she was free another thing would crash into her life...destroying every hope she had to be free....but here she had no worries...she had no pain...she had total and compleate peace...she was free from her burdens...she never wanted to leave this place...She didn't want to have to face the world again...she wanted to stay here in sanctuary and leave the world and it's troubles to others...but that was not who she was...she could not leave those she loved to fend for themselves...she could not leave this world yet...she could not abandon this world...she would remain here and she would take the pain of others who could not bare it alone...she would take there pain and her own and she would carry it away...with tears in her eyes and scars on her heart she would take the pain if it meant those around her were finally happy...if they would finally be free...she would stay here as long as she was needed...but one day when her time was up the young girl with the eyes of an old woman would return to this field...to this sanctuary...and she would lay in this field with the cool breeze upon her...and she would sleep and rest and recover in this sanctuary and she would finally feel peace...and just maybe she would be restored to the young girl who she never had time to truly be...
