Just Trust

She looks up to study the path ahead. No path has ever been more straight, no path has ever looked that smooth; she starts at a slow and unsure pace. Should one travel such a path? There is no colours to show -everything just dark and down. The path is narrow, the trees seem to tighten in. The wind whips around her; her hair being tossed around, blinding moments of her vision. The trees sway tremendously, branches slapping her in the face - shaking her from her course - she stays her course, determined to get out. Her goal is to reach the end, but fear overwhelms her. She pauses . . . to observe. . . to listen - screams off in the distance are heard - foot steps heard in every direction - then silence falls. She hesitates to continue till the earth starts to tremble and foot thumps are heard from behind. She glances over her shoulder as her shaky legs start to move; she is trembling with fear and finds herself stumbling over her own two feet. Desperation fills her - a desire to escape what was after her. Her hearts beating at an unbearable pace; her heart about to jump from her cold chest. The foot steps get louder and she can tell they are closing in. She takes a dodge forward and then falls to the ground. She cowards in a fetal position, waiting for them to take her up and take her way. This being the moment till her death. But by surprise, a light warm tap on her shoulder, a whisper in her ear by the sweetest voice that anyone will ever hear. She gets up slowly, her hands burning from the ground, her cheeks heated by the slapping branches. Everything is beautiful, everthing is calm and bright. She dauntlessly continues on the path with the whisper in her head saying trust me - the words striking at her heart. Never has she heard such a voice - never has she felt such a comfort. She knows no branch will take her down, no chase will scare her. There is light in the darkness when there is a goal to be reached when there is a voice to be heard. No times of darkness will keep her down. It is He who will lift her off the ground.
