Cryptic (Part 16)

As the black dog laid on the floor resting
and Love was in the bed fast asleep
Peace started to think about what Fate
had told him just a few days earlier.
"Your destiny lies close but far,
it will find you when you are not looking,
do not worry about where or when,
just keep Love and Doom from destroying you first".
He could understand the last part
since most of his life he had struggled with these two,
but the first part about being close but far was puzzling him.
Did this mean that Destiny was close meaning soon,
yet far away in distance or just the opposite?
As far as worrying went
not a day in Peace's live had gone by without some type of worry.
Just that moment the dog jumped up and started barking
startling Peace and awakening Love.
"Settle down girl" Peace said,
"it's only the wind blowing branches against the window", or was it?
"Are you certain?" Love replied.
"Let's hope so, we should still be safe here for now".
There were forces at work that Peace was not aware of
although he knew that outside that window
and the safety of these confines lied a secret
that would not only answer all of his questions
about his thoughts and how they affected others
but might be too powerful for even him to control.
His main objective now was to keep Love safe
and to begin the journey to where their Destiny lies.



To be continued....
