Your Map

I did not fall. I walked. I chose my steps cautiously and breathed in the sweet, fresh air. I looked up and I saw the sunrise in the distance. It was a blend of every color I loved, and together painted a picture no paintbrush could ever create. I stared in awe. I passed a placid lake on my way. I went to look for the reflection staring back. Tears dropped down into the water as the beautiful girl in the lake stared back at me. Scared, I ran till my legs gave out. I was lost. I dropped to my knees and screamed out for a direction, a sign. I opened my eyes and saw a cobblestone trail. I followed for days, weeks, maybe months. When the sun said goodbye, the moon guided me in darkness. And when I saw it, this magical waterfall glistening with every wave that shattered looking down at me, I knew I was exactly where I needed to be and I thanked God, for no other way would have taken me here.
