The Centre

Tall and strong she stood. Facing the sun, stars and moon. She was reaching for the sky and listening to the stories brought by the wind.

She was the centre of attention

though she never asked to be. Many liked her because the Strong Lady made them feel better and safer. Some just came for a rest, a peaceful nightmare-free sleep one with harmonious dreams. In her shadow, they stayed or just waited unnoticed till the storm was over.

With her feet solid in the ground, one could think it was here where she'd rooted. Her most familiar area but what can't be noticed can exist. The centre of life doesn't only reach the sky but goes as deep and far as her highness.

They are getting closer, whispered the warm breeze gently caressing her crowned head.
She already knew, felt how the soil trembled, two little souls were heading in her direction. One from the South and one from the East both following the cord only they could see.

Their journey was of all times, they had travelled from the start, eternity to find and meet in the centre again.Both set foot at the same time.

There you are, she said and smiled. Words only he could hear, there was no need to speak out loud.
I am and I will always be.

The did just like they had done from the very first day they held hands while approaching the center.

Home, he said while his eyes reflected the moon inside. It wasn't hard to shine light on her not even on a bright summer day.

Underneath the tall and strong one, they sat, held, embraced the reunification. All that was left was to be. Through the crown above they watched the sky, brightened by a billion of stars forming a giant ball. They celebrated and honoured their friend who'd finally arrived home, Though they'd lost the man on the Moon to Earth, they celebrated and honoured their friend who'd finally arrived home.

Complete, the wind whispered, did you see that coming, the child with the moon in his eyes arrived.
The mighty tree smiled and embraced the children for they had always hugged her and her offsprings during their lives. She didn't need long to surround the connected souls to shelter them against stormy weather.
