"A Mystical Journey - Bound By Love"

Have you ever had something happen to you, that no matter how hard you try, you can't explain it, or refer it to some movie you had seen or a book you have read? This is where I was yesterday when both my husband and I realized that on Sunday, May 6th, 2012 will mark our 20th Anniversary, but yet it feels like we have just met with a new sense of purpose and a new bond that signifies our new chapter of life -Together. I know I wasn't dreaming, however I felt as through I had been or was. Most of our marriage, I have been the one in and out of hospitals, clinics and have undergone various preventative procedures for my medical care. This time the shoe is on the other foot...my husbands. As we walk the road together to relive the memories, good and bad, of his time in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, I have found that when we are together, we can overcome anything and this journey will not be any different. We've almost fallen victim to situations that have tried to push us onto seperate paths by false truths, until our guardian angels remind us,  - "United We Stand - Divided We Fall" - words to live by.  The only way to describe the day, were the feelings that danced around our spoke words, as if this moment was to be explained in this very manner. I have learned, not to fear the words that find me, express them in the way that they appear and embrace them each time they find us.

The song that I have included is what inspired me to bring my words into reality. I don't know what it is, just something about the music, the melody the words. Words and melody go together and that is what makes us sing.

"A Mystical Journey - Bound By Love"
By: Stacey L. Bolin

She walked alone in the silence on a path of jagged rock lined by a forest of mature trees to either side, walking to a place unknown. Cold icy winds touched with a gentle rain kissed mist falling upon her face. Her skin is blue, she is cold. Her bare feet, so tried, they help her see through the foggy blanket upon the earth that surrounds her to knee level as an image slowly appears before her. A man filled with much compassion and deep confliction.  She speaks the words she fears that harbor within her daily mind. She reveals she will let him go if he needs to discover, himself, a new life, his unknown  until he discovers what he's lost or if he still loves her. He is her unconditional love, he is her heart, and he is her soul.

His hands warm, his arms strong as he pulls her into him and with a simple serious smile he looks for the answer to the words he sets free from his thoughts - "You couldn't live without me." Her face against his, her voice allows only the sounds of whispers through her tears - "You are so very right. Physically maybe, mentally I would be destroyed." Their embrace tightens, her fears fall aside to bring her soul to life. The painful words, painful thoughts, are free. He smiles as they walk, the wet air grows warm and dry as the cold colors of blue, grey and black begin to change to brown, mossy greens and sky blue. The rays of golden sunlight cast away the mist revealing a path of smooth flat rocks and the brilliance of orange roses lead on a journey, the journey a new. With each step her body begins to warm, her feet - revived There is peace; there is comfort, a bond like none other. This is not death, this is a life, a new beginning, answers revealed. It is the answers they sought, the answers that had always been there, waiting behind the questions never asked. A continued choice bound by love – Till death do us part.
