Oaks Gleam - Prologue
I stepped outside and into the chill autumn
and closed my jacket tighter as if on instinct. My heart was pounding, raging inside my ribcage
and if I closed my eyes I could hear my heart beating from within my chest.
Something about this autumn chilled me like nothing had before, it was indescribable in fact.
The leaves danced
around me as though trying to comfort my reeling thoughts, the wind
urging the leaves to dance faster. And the sun was in the middle of it all, shining down bathing my
coat in a golden hue.
The king of stars seemed to be trying to comfort me as well, but to no avail. I continued
down the forest
path, to where the forests spirit seemed to be calling me.
The towering trees climbed higher and higher like giants looking down, eating away
at the suns radiant gaze. Leaving the forest to fall pitch as night.
Not a cricket stirred as I walked down the all too familiar path.
I wiped my eyes with the cuff of my sleeve willing the tears to subside, but even if
they did it wouldn't stop the ache inside my heart, gnawing at me, eating me inside out.
I Serena Tskino wasn't as strong willed on the outside as I may have appeared and I
was letting it get the better of me.
A flock of birds flew from an ageing tree, in a mad rushing wave. There must have been eighty of
them at least, cawing as they evacuated the forest. As though the presence of me frightened them.
The last bird swept out of the forest cawing once more, a leaf falling in its path.
I watched the leaf fall to the ground, the way it seemed to procrastinate and sway back and forth through
the wind.
I passed a few more trees and headed down the secretive path I must have been down only
a thousand times. To get away from life's scornful stare.
Once I reached my destiny I sat upon my favored log and let the wind carry my troubles away...as
it always had before.
The sun peaked out from the gaps between the trees, greeting me with its gleaming light as
though resting a hand on my shoulder,
telling me everything would be alright.
And then I smiled. A genuine smile, of happiness, and hope. Somehow I'd cross
this bridge and voyage beyond it.
