the place that the man has spent his entire life searching for is in front of him.

his eyes are full of accomplishment, and his mind races. his feet carry his acheing body across the feild of crisp grass to the lands he had only dremt of. a beautiful place of colorful flora and comforting light reaching every nook and cranny as if the sun focused its attention here. the man was speachless, he continued to walk untill he himself became apart of this magnificent scenery. he cries. his mind is full of thoughts of what he had to do to find this place; people lost, pain sustained, the storms that he endured. all with this glorious place in his mind giving him the hope he needed to continue. he poses a question aloud, the first word he spoke after achieving his goal. “why”. he weeps. the man realized that he was alone. he knew that he had pushed people away, and left everything behind him so that he could be in this place that gave him hope to push through day after day of torment that he sees now was self inflicted. he is in phisical pain. his mind and soul are shattered. he now has hope for nothing..exhausted, the man fell asleep. that night his dreams were differnt. that night he drempt of the things that could have been.
