i

soared

through

the

clouds





the

sky

beneath

my

feet
when

i

looked

up

i

could

see

it
a

majestic

structure





gleaming

with

blue

crystal

and

gold
the

spires

were

strangely

twisted





but

reached

so

very





high
i

set

down

on

the

rock

it

floated

on





and

approached

the

massive





gates
i

knocked

but

nobody

heard
i

yelled

and

screamed

but

to

no

avail
the

gates

were

shut
from

my

mouth

flowed

curses





like

fire

and

brimstone
defeated
i

rested

my

head

on

the

wall





supported

by

my

hands
i

then

heard

a

great

creaking

sound





and

the

gates

opened

a

crack
stunned
i

gazed

upon

the

opening
a

tiny

creature

with





pointed







ears
peeked

out

from

behind

the

crack
its

eyes

lit

up

as

he

saw

me





for

what

reason

I

did

not

know
it

said





"we

have

been

waiting.


this

place

belongs

to

you"
with

that

a

chorus

of

whispers

floated






from

behind

the

gate
and

the

crack

became

an

opening
it

was

then

that

i

walked

through.
