Assorted maps

As the night falls and the moon rises high,
I sit by the window, lost in thought, wondering why
My heart aches and my soul sighs,
As I try to make sense of the mysteries of life.

In the stillness of the dark,
I hear the rustling of the leaves,
The chirping of the crickets,
The distant howl of the wolves.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath,
And let my mind wander to a place of peace and rest.
I think of all the beauty that surrounds me,
The endless skies, the rolling hills, the endless sea.

But even as I revel in the joy of nature's song,
I cannot help but feel a sense of longing,
A desire to be free, to break the chains that bind me,
And to follow my heart wherever it may lead.

So I rise from my seat and step out into the night,
Leaving behind the comfort and the light,
And venture into the unknown,
With only the stars to guide me home.

I wander through the forest,
Where the trees reach up to the sky,
And the moon casts a golden glow,
On the path that lies ahead.

I come upon a clearing,
Where the grass is soft and green,
And the flowers bloom in a riot of color,
Like a tapestry of beauty and wonder.

I stop and take it all in,
The sights and the sounds, the smells and the feelings,
And I am filled with a sense of awe and wonder,
At the majesty of this world we live in.

But as I stand there, lost in thought,
I am suddenly awoken from my reverie,
By the sound of footsteps approaching,
And a voice that calls out to me.

I turn and see a figure,
Dressed in robes of shimmering gold,
With a crown of diamonds on her head,
And a smile that fills my heart with hope.

She introduces herself as the Queen of the Faeries,
And tells me that I have been chosen,
To embark on a quest of great importance,
To save the realm from a great and terrible fate.

And so I set off on my journey,
With the Queen by my side,
Through mountains and valleys,
Over rivers and seas.

We face many challenges,
And overcome many obstacles,
But with each step we take,
We grow stronger and more determined.

And in the end, we emerge victorious,
Having saved the realm and brought peace to all,
And I am hailed as a hero,
And celebrated with great honor and acclaim.

But even as I bask in the glow of my victory,
I cannot help but feel a sense of sadness,
For I know that this journey is but a fleeting moment,
And that all things must come to an end.

So I bid farewell to the Queen and the realm,
And return to my home,
With a heart full of love and gratitude,
For the adventure that changed my life forever.
