LILITH

Fluffy clouds glow with hues of orange and pink, signaling the arrival of night as the creatures within the garden begin to stir. Captivated by the shadows, you wander the lush landscape as fireflies pulse against the ever-darkening navy backdrop. The hum of insects and frogs provide foundation against the trills and warbles of song birds. Your hand brushes against the softness of flower petals as you meander past, the honeyed scent wafting on the warm breeze that caresses bare skin. You wander on, enjoying your surroundings but feeling drawn to wanting more, to being more. You yearn for freedom and discovering the unknown, for tapping into the power and allure you feel building within you. You weren’t made to serve, but to lead. Temptation grows as you approach the edges of the gardens you are most familiar with. Turning to look over your shoulder to see the remnants of sunlight sinking below the horizon, you ponder the possibilities. Taking in and holding a large breath of deliriously sugary air, you finally release the exhale. You turn your back against the dying light of day to take your first steps towards your own destiny.
