I sit alone in the darkness, silence surrounds me. I wait for something, but don't know what. The peace closes in, I cannot breathe. I begin to drown, then she saves me.
Fate pulls me into her warm embrace. Security and prosperity. She shows me the road, and bids me to follow it. As I begin to walk, she walks with me. The stars ignite to light our way. I see in the distance, shining in the moonlight, three pedestals of purest marble . We reach them and she bid me to choose. "I cannot," I say, but she smiles and says, "It is your decision to make." On one stands a chest of never-ending treasure, on the second stands a king's staff, and on the last stands the book of wisdom. My mind is in a frenzy as I try to decide. I turn around, but fate is no longer there. Instead stand the wyrd sisters who stare at me. "Power," says one, "Riches," says another, and the third whispers, "Wisdom." Their words repeated and echoed through my mind as I stand rooted to the spot. One or the other or the third? And I remain standing at those marble pedestals in the moonlight.

Still.
Nothing in my mind, nothing but the blackness of night.
I am searching for something.
Something in plain sight, but it is lost.
Something magnificent, but undervalued.
Could it be...the miracle?
I drift off.
There is nothing now, nothing but the sweet singsong.
A sound so soft it can barely be heard.
So pure that it soothes my soul and brings me to a moment of sincere peace.
My mind fills with wonder, and I sway to the beauty of the song.
There is nothing but the sound of true purity.
When I hear the song fading, I am brought back.
I am bewildered at how it took me in.
It was a strong current that pulled me into a river of undying prosperity.
But the river had stopped flowing.
The miracle is lost again.
I cannot give up.
A sudden ray of light fills me with hope and shows me the way.
I know it will take me to the miracle.
Sweet sounds come again.
I can hear the miracle calling me again.
This time I will return it's call.
I feel alive.
My heart is springing with joy.
The music is growing.
I can feel myself approaching the magic that is singing so amazingly.
I leap through the nothingness, my eye spying for the source.
The song stops again, but I know I am not far from the treasure I have been searching for.
Emptiness is all I see.
Out of the darkness, there is light.
There is something in front of me. I want to be near it.
My heart controls my body, and I glide closer.
I soar through the air and wrap my arms around the miracle.
I can hear the song, but it is faint.
It still lives, but it's life is draining.
If all is to be saved, I must save him.
I hold him tighter and pray for my miracle.
I give all of my remaining strength to him.
I would hope that he survives, but I have already given him all the hope I had within me.
I search for every little thing I have for him.
He had to live.
He falls.
I hold onto him as tight as I can, as I think of the last thing I have to give.
With all of the nothing I had in me, I gave him all the love I held in my heart.
I am almost gone.
There is nothing once again.
Then out of the death, comes life.
Happiness reigns down as rejoice pours upon us.
He lives. I live.
His strength rebuilds and I smile at him with thanks.
He does the same.
Alive again, with my miracle cradled in my arms.
He looks at me and I see the love in his eyes.
We stand hand in hand and stroll down a shining path.
Through the air we spot three glowing pedestals and stare in awe.
He is unsure of what to chose and he looks to me for guidance.
I cannot help him this time. This is his choice and his alone.
I can sense he is lost and confused. I cannot stop myself from helping him.
Taking all the life left in my soul, I surrender completely everything to him.
This is the last time I can save him, for now I am no more.
I want to stay with him, but I can not go back now.
As I fade away into the night sky, I try to say goodbye, but I have not the strength to speak.
So I leave him without warning and feel dreadful sorrow that would burn if I could feel.
I silently wish I could give him one last embrace, but it is impossible now.
There is nothing left of me. I am gone, and he is alone again.
Nothingness, emptiness, in the depths of his heart.
I hear there are a lot of singles on your blog, Saul, like me. I am not taken.
So if there are any takers...
umm whats with your first post BR??
And why would you be saying any one can date you what if they are like some old dude in jail for murder wouldn't you like to know them first???
I am not in jail B.J. I don't think they would let me have a laptop in a padded cell. And BR that was truly beautiful. At first I thought it was just good poetry, but when I realised you were speaking as Fate, a chill ran up my spine. Truly beautiful.
If only we were closer...
Ok I kinda realized that but it could be true some where. Hmm a poem about fate doesn't sound like my type of thing. But its pretty good.
And for some reason i think Saul and BR are more then friends well atleast they might have met some time.....
Nope never met her.
hmmm methinks there be chemistry between BR and saul...
....buuuut thats just me.... ;)
Well Br is an element so is " Saul " element on the periodic table of elements too ???? Bc if that is so that might explain the chemistry between the two........
LOL if you get what I mean Rachael.......
Yah I know what you are talking about.
oh ya hahahahaha good one young buffalo! for once! i have trained u well!! *bows w/ hands in a "praying position"* lol
LOL good one Rachael...... so does this mean you'll be nice to me Sunday???
Good one, B.J.. Saul and I will be on the Periodic Table of Elements if you need us.
hahahahhahahahaha another good one young buffalo....
...aka- DONT COUNT ON IT!!!
ps lol BR!
Akk, I don't belive in chemestry.
I believe in romance.
oh yea? well i believe in God. BAM! lol
I greatly respect your beliefs. I think everyone on Saul's 'blog believes in and loves God. I am fascinated by romance as well, Brady. Do you read romance novels?
I read one at one point, until everyone was like "why are you reading a girls book?" Now I read the romances that are disguised as men's books.
Don't like the old peoples romance though. I dig the teen romance.
I am sorry you were taunted for reading romance novels. Take no shame in it. It is perfectly acceptable for males to enjoy reading romance novels, as well as females. How very interesting. I, too, am constituent to teen romance novels; however, I do not like some of the more raunchy teen romances. All in all, romance truly tugs at my heartstrings.
I enjoy endulging myself in an engaging mystery.
constituent?
raunchy?
heartstrings?
ok i seriously think BR isnt a teen and is like an older person or someones mom or something...except for her profile picture....well ok, BR:
you're like hecka smart and pretty and im like so jealous bc my comments always sound so insignificant to yours....in fact, whenever i read ur comments, im pretty sure i can hear my brain short circuting.....O_o :/
and while we're on the subject of books....i like hmmmm well animal stories (warriors) and im trying to read redwall buuuut its like hecka hard to understand....sooo ill just stick with PENDRAGON which is an adventure good vs evil type thing yep yep i like that hero kind of stuff....but in movies-it hasta be adventure/action (like the Bourne series or the show Burn Notice with spys and covert-ops) yep :DDD im weird like that =PPP and drama chick-flicky stuff annoys me...most of the time-the one exception is the Princess Bride which is the most AMAZING movie ever...and the book was pretty good too...long, but good.
yep yep. in case anyone wants to know...pffftt hahaha =PPP
o ya, and mysteries are pretty good-except for after a while its like "oo! oo! its __ person...no wait its ___ person..OH I GIVE UP!" so they get annoying after a while......but tv mysteries are good....like Monk and Psych and NCIS......well i guess thats more like crime scene stuff
oh my goodness-im having a one-person debate! please someone stop me from talking/arguing w/ myself! its creepin me outt!! O_o haha....yeaaaa...
Psych is a great show, i consider myself observant and smart, and i like shows that depict smart individuals because it causes my mind to be stimulated. Different people respond to different things, romance, mystery, suspense, that's why there are so many genre's out there. Books about spies or detectives always have captured my attention, but i also keep an open mind and read all sorts of literature.
one of my favorite things to do is to watch movies, read books, or watch tv shows and figure things out either as or before the people in the fictional world does. I hear watching TV causes your mind to turn off, but i try to keep mine on by letting the wheels turn and i really think hard about all sorts of senarios. the movies that catch me with a hidden twist at the end are probably my favorite, like i just watched 6th sense again... definitly wasn't expecting that ending the first time and it's fun seeing small things through the movie.
sorry, rambling, but i felt bad for Rachael. I loved the redwall books, start from the first one and you will catch on, you can get lost quick though with names and who is what animal and all that. I have ran out of good book series though, any recomendations from you guys? (or girls)
OMG! eeeeeeether i have ben gone waaaaaaay to long or itz just my small little brain because im lost...awl this deep talk abowt bookz and moviez iz to much for me to comprehend...
but if yu like animal bookz then i REEEELY recomend Martin's Mice by Dick King-Smith...itz reely eezy to reed but it wuz such a kute little story!!! "^-^"
<3 FOR EVERYWUN!!!!!!! "^.^"
OK. Who's read Eragon? BR totally sounds like Arya.
OMG!!! Ive read that book...kinda...well i saw the movie but the movie tanked compared to the book

<3 for everywun!!!!!!! "^.^"
lol thx josiah! well im reading this book series called Pendragon--its really good..and no, it has nothing to do with dragons...LOL thats his name. Bobby Pendragon. Traveler.
[book description:]
"Imagine what it would be like to discover you aren't the person you thought you were.
That's what happened to Bobby Pendragon. He was living the life of a normal 14 year old guy, until his Uncle Press came by one night to say: "I need your help." From that moment on, nothing was the same. He and his uncle were swept off on a series of adventures that would take them through both time and space. Their mission? To protect the territories of Halla from a demon named Saint Dane, a cold-blooded villian who wants nothing less than the destruction of all humanity. The only force standing in Saint Dane's way is a mysterious group of people called...Travelers.
Bobby is surprised to discover that he is a Traveler. He has no choice but to band together with the others in their battle against Saint Dane, wherever and whenever it takes them. Trouble is, Bobby would much rather be home playing basketball. But that wasn't meant to be, because when he left home, his entire family vanished without a trace!
Each of the Pendragon books follows a unique adventure as Bobby and the Travelers shoot across the universe in pursuit of Saint Dane. They must match wits with this fiend while doing their best to unravel his wicked plans. But Bobby is also driven by the ultimate mystery: Why was he chosen to become a Traveler? And more important.... What happened to his family?
The amazing truth unravels slowly for Bobby over the course of all the Pendragon books. Along the way, he encounters the kind of nail-biting, hairy adventures that he used to love to watch in the movies, but now must live out every day for real."

pendragon... will try it out. i like action adventure mystery and actually... most books. it all depends on my mood. i try to stay away from books with a lot of swearing, but all the good adult series i try picking up have it. back to redwall for me :) i'll find others, and i read enough books for the youth group to keep me busy.
initials... jpg
sorta like jpeg but no E in my name.
books... are amaznig. i love movies, but they pale in comparasin to books.
my problem with books is i read through them way to quickly... like a few hours a day will get me halfway through any book. so like 2 sittings later im looking for another good book to read. it's a costly hobby :) but it's so good. always open to other advice on books.
ps. the bible has been keeping me busy lately. there's a lot of good stories in there and it's actually like life changing and all that... who would have thought that the Word of God could do something like that.
lol i know a guy that has initials GPS
lol ya theres no cussing in pendragon and theyre easy to read...but i warn u-once ur hooked, ur addicted until u finish them LOL
thats cool Josiah. ya if theres anything that was truely moving, i wanna hear about it in Bible study, if thats ok w/ u :) i love those kinds of stories :D
