The Darkness

He stepped into the darkness and was frightened.  "Athena, are you there"? 

 

"Oh my gosh, who are you?"

"You're doing fine Gem.  I am Patience, the Priestess of the Passage.  Athena will meet you at the door. You must keep going now, there is no turning back.  The halo that hovers above your head will light your path and protect you from harm.  You'll reach the rainbow soon."

"If you get tired there's a castle ahead where you can rest and have something to eat.  A large plate of salmon awaits you."

 

Suddenly he realized that his mouth didn't hurt anymore.  The tumors were gone!  He felt hungry for the first time in months, and maybe he would be able to eat on his own again, without that syringe.  He hurried on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He'd eaten a lot at the castle and his tummy was so full.  

Almost there now, he was excited, and already he felt younger.

 

 

"Come on Gem.  Come through the door and you'll see, the sky will be bright and beautiful.  You won't believe how pretty it is Gem.  It's a magical place, where there's no more suffering or pain."

O, come, angel band,
Come and around me stand,
O, bear me away on your snow white wings,
To my immortal home.
