Delilah & The Raven
She came from the darkness into the light for a glimpse but dared not stay. Her heart stolen from a handsome strangers stare.
Upon her shoulder words of wisdom pierced the chill of night, " Come away do not stay you can not live in the light " ... and the shadows fell upon her once more, only Raven knew her hearts call and pledged his life to keep her secret safe.
Oh! dear friend Delilah cried softly as not to be heard " The darkness has taken from me my love and if I go forward into the light my life as I know it will be gone but if I stay my heart will weep and I will walk in darkness alone.
Silence cut the chilly air ... words were not spoken ... only time would tell of her journey's end but for now the silence not was broken.
So alone she walked the halls off darkness and in the chilly silence secretly longed for the strangers touch, the passing of time never healed the longing, nor the emptiness or pain.
Raven stood fast, he had pledged his life but in time he saw her dispare, Oh! faithful friend you have always been there for me Delilah wept, now I must go ... follow my heart & if it means I must go alone a part of me will always remain with you. Raven knew now was the time he dreaded, the time for them to part, a life to which if he were to go into the light he would die but he daren't tell her of his fate, he was prepared to die.
In the moonlight they met , their love for each other sealed by a glance. " Come away with me " was on his lips & he took her by the hand. Don't be afraid to come out of the darkness, I will protect you I will be your Knight in shining amour & as they turned & walked into the light she saw for the first time & understood the Raven's call, his spell broken by her love and longing to be loved and in the moonlight as the moon beams dance upon his face before her eyes she saw her best friend the Raven transform & the stranger stood before her a stranger no more ...
The moral of this story is fear can if we allow it to, stop us from full filling our destiny.
