The tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes, as her body was rocked to the core with sobs that took her breath away. Hope gathered her even closer, and covered her with Her wings. 'Please hush dear, breathe, and listen to only my lyrics'.
Defeat's laughter continued to bounce from the cold stones of the well. With each cackle, Hope felt as though this precious one, would crumble in her arms. Hope whispered gentle words into her ears, and wiped the tears from her eyes. She questioned herself - 'Can my encouragement and love bring my dearest through this trial'? Hope began to doubt herself, as she could not calm the precious one in her embrace.
She felt as if she was bleeding out each heartache from her life, over and over. Her strength was draining, her heart felt empty, and even with her eyes open, she could see nothing more than darkness. 'Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up...' These words did move her to look into Hope's eyes for comfort and strength.
Hope returned her glance, and smiled softly.
Before Hope's strength could be drawn into her soul, Defeat laughed with a thunderous roar. Terrified, she retreated under Hope's wings once more. Yes, becoming the champion of the wells, was proving more dificult than she could ever imagine. With her tears flowing down her own face, Hope could see that this precious one had weakend again, as had she.
As the battle continued, the sorrowful reflections of this heavy heart, were forever entwined in the night's wind. With each gust that tumbled into the well, they began to carry parts of her heart away.
