"Seeing the Dawn Before It Comes"
In the deepest night
when all the starlight has sunk into the clouds
someone is still awake
She looks into the dark, but not to search for light
only to remember:"The light will come."
Her name is Nael'tu
She was born from a pause in the universe
when everything stood still
Read the full story
Nael'tu placed her hand on her chest
and heard a voice inside:
"There are chapters ahead that haven't been written."
So she lifted her head and walked forward
no map, no road
only trust
She walked past the end of the wind, through time not yet born
gathering pieces of the future along the way:
some like songs, some like pictures, some like dreams
She wove the pieces into a blueprint
not on paper, but in the direction of the light
every line leading to a world
that hasn't taken shape yet
Someone asked her,
"How do you know where to go?"
She smiled. "I don't. But I know it's time to set out."
A whole dawn hides in her eyes
Others see the night
she sees
the light that hasn't risen yet
When a group is lost, she doesn't shout slogans
she only says softly, "Look where my hand is pointing."
And everyone looks up and finds there really is a glimmer in the distance
She doesn't walk ahead; she walks in the future
She isn't a commander; she is a caller
She doesn't bring authority; she brings trust
By the time the last person reaches the doorway of light
she has already turned to go open the next morning that hasn't woken yet
The wind asked her, "Why are you always leaving?"
She answered, "Because dawn doesn't happen only once.
Every time someone is willing to believe,
new light is born."
She doesn't lead people
she just stands one step ahead, in the future
