Out of the darkness, rivers of brilliant light and color began to flow all around her, as if a dam holding back a rainbow had miraculously burst. Then she heard the music... a melody so beautiful it tugged at her very soul. It was as if the euphony clothed her in an impenetrable blanket. She felt warm. She felt safe. Uncontrollably, tears welled up, the hymn gripping her heart, and she was forced to squeeze her eyes shut and instinctively her body curled into a protective ball.

I was never very interested in my grandmother’s stories about her childhood. The stories were long and the only thing that they taught me were how to smile and nod so the elderly woman in front of me did not feel bad. Her voice was the only reason that I came to her house anymore.

No, the woman sitting in front of me was a wrinkled and defeated version of the great woman that is featured in thee pictures. She sat there just staring at me with her glazed over eyes that showed her age. She opened her mouth and the sonorous words began to come out, but I payed no attention. All I cared about was that wonderful voice.

Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering. It frightened him to think of what must have gone into making her eyes for her beauty was sublime. There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and she was one of the lights that bettered other lights. He would dream of a time when together, they would take a walk back to the East of Eden.

He would warm up leftover food for her instead of cooking her a meal, he would leave his dirty dishes lying around for her to clean up, and would take her out to dinner but make her pay for it. Anastasia’s family could see that Gage was very controlling and manipulative of her. Some of Anastasia’s ancestors lived in tiny quaint cottages as well as some of her very close friends. Anastasia had an interest of art and often enjoyed getting up early in the morning to draw. When Anastasia walked down the cobblestone street to her favorite drawing spot, she would find herself lost in mesmerization by all of the enchanting sights. The way the water glistened when the sun hit on the small ponds, the cows in the fields drinking water, the sweet smell of the morning dew on the grass, the and hay being cut in the fields in the fall. But one of her most favorite things to do in the mornings was to sing. Anastasia loved to sing everywhere, and she especially loved love songs. She would hum all of the way down to her drawing spot and would constantly think of all of the pretty sights along the way. She was a happy girl but on the inside she was breaking because of the way her boyfriend was treating

I remember the day just like it was yesterday, the pale color and coldness of her skin. The sky was clear blue, soft, with a touch of red, and the trees seemed stiff in their bright green shade. The wind was blowing with its humid dry air. And All I could do was stand silently in disbelief, caught up in my own thoughts and calm as I ever been. Wondering what I could have done differently to change the course of time, life had taken us upon. Since that very day a chunk of my heart was ripped away, and broken into pieces… “Oh how I miss her so much.”

Beauty has been a word that people use to described objects, things and most important people. Beauty can be defined in so many ways.

A lonely girl sat on the hill the wind blowing her all this way and that, the cold numbing her hands and feet; however, this wasn’t what was making the tears fall down her cheeks – sticking to her face. It was the loneliness inside of her that she couldn’t express except through her tears that made her feel empty. All she needed was a hug, a loving word, and all would feel right, but no one came. This was the little girl I meet when I went on a mission trip to Palau. She would drive all her teachers crazy with her outbursts of energy or rage; but as I got to know her and drew closer to her during my time there, she began to open up and let me into her life.
