"When the Wind Called the Fire"
In the beginning, there was no day or night yet
Everything stood still
like a dream no one had pressed start on
Then a voice came from far away
It said,
"Who will be the first to move?"
Silence. No one answered
because no one knew
whether moving would make them disappear
Read the full story
Suddenly a flash of red-gold light
leapt out from among the stars
and laughed, "I'll go first, then."
That smile lit up the universe
His name was Rohen'dal
He didn't wait for a signal or ask permission
He knew
light that doesn't move forward becomes a ghost
He carried the wind on his back, fire under his feet
and every step carved one word into the air:
"Begin"
He had no destination
yet because of him, every direction came to exist
When he ran
the stars turned with him
When he shouted
mountains and rivers answered
He wasn't there to fight
he was there to wake things up
Someone asked him,
"How do you know you're on the right path?"
He laughed and answered,
"Because this path glows."
Wherever he walked, a road grew
He said,"Action isn't for finishing. It's for opening."
Once, he stopped
and looked back at the trail he'd made
It wasn't dust
it was a message woven from fire and wind
and it read:
"The task isn't to be perfect. It's to begin."
He turned, and the wind behind him became wings
He set off again, with no map but full of trust
because he knew
a true messenger
doesn't speak for the universe
but uses action
to let the universe hear itself
He brings no prophecy, only burning footsteps
and every step forward is a call
