Ginving to the Urge of Writing
In the dead of night, I will wake with a start. Not knowing what had waken me, I will seek for what had done me wrong. Half asleep, I walk through the streets until I collapse and fall to the peace of unconsciousness next to a curb.
When I wake again, a small child with deep blue eyes has her hand outreached towards me. Not knowing if I’m surely awake or not, I take her hand. She lifts me up off the ground with ease and before I know what has happened, we are floating through the air. She looks to me and smiles an angelic smile. It eases the fear that was slowly wrapping itself around me.
I close my eyes as we continue to gain speed. When I open them again, we are approaching a beach. The sun, slowly rising over the sea, has me coming to realize that I am nowhere near home. I look to the small child as our feet hit the sand of the beach. She smiles again before looking back at the rising sun.
I take a step forward and feel the sand under my feet. I take a deep breath and can smell the salt water, only a few feet away from me. As I look around, I see that this small child and I are the only one’s on this beautiful beach.
I want to ask the child why she has brought me here, but decide otherwise. This place is so perfect, why would I ruin it with complicated words? Surely the reason is complicated and can be saved for another time.
The child sits down and without thinking about it, I follow her lead. Not caring about anything else except the beauty of the waves tumbling over each other; we sit there on the sand in peace.

So utterly beautifully written Tayler, that it brought tears to my eyes. Speaking objectively and not as your mother, you have an amazing talent in writing Tayler. I pray whatever you decide to do in life, that you will always write. Your God-given talent should be shared with all who would appreciate such platinum precious peices, as this one.
I love you,
Mom
