Le Grand Amour: A Universe of Love Pt 5

This article was written by Mystogan on 2012-01-06 under Novels & Stories.

The young woman now knows her mistake and realizes then that her suitor was a thief and with that in mind cried tears of woe.

 

She had been courted by a thief and a commoner and she almost accepted what a shameful thing she could have endured.

 

But for some reason the young woman would look around, always searching for the one.

 

And from that came a legend of the thief of the night who steals a young girl’s heart. But what of the thief you may ask?

 

He is neither here nor there anymore for he is finally with the night, she who has always been with him and forever will be.

The Angel and the Priest

 

“Love will eventually come to all those who wait.” - Metha Metharom

 

As a young boy he would sit in the rose garden and smell its scent.

 

No one would understand why he was there and not out to play.

 

The rose garden sits in a small churchyard, where people would come and go.

 

It was here that he met her…the Angel of the Rose.

 

She had fluttered down from the heaven above to care for the budding roses for it was her duty and here she would end up gazing at the young boy who would become a man.

 

“I see you,” he had said to her the first time he saw her.

 

The Angel was astounded and spread her wings and leapt back into the sky taking with her all her beauty, all her grace.

 

And each day the young boy would come and wait for the Angel to return.

 

And every day the Angel would return for it was her duty to look after the roses and each day the young boy would say, “I see you,” while smiling knowingly.

 

And every time as he did that the Angel would flee from the place not certain why she would do such.

 

As time went by the young boy would become a young man and yet still he would come to the church and study the way.

 

But on every visit on daybreak he would visit the rose garden, only to say “I see you,” to the flustered Angel.

 

The Angel not really sure anymore why she comes, whether it is to see the young man or the roses.

 

The years gone passed once again, and the young man became an older man, now a Priest.

 

Never once laying his eyes on any women folk but always coming to the rose garden and say, “I see you.”

 

Every day he would make his sermon at mass and people would come from far and wide to hear him speak.

 

For the Priest has a strong heart and is one with his faith.

 

The Priest became so busy that he would hardly have any time to see the rose garden but yet each morning he would make his way there just to say those same words, “I see you.”

 

And the Angel now knows she was no longer here to see the rose but the man who had become a Priest.

 

The years would pass once more and the Priest was now old.

 

And each and every day he would say to her the Angel in his heart, “I see you.”

 

And every day she would wait for him to arrive at the rose garden to say: I see you to her.

 

For in truth as she looked at him, she saw him too.

 

Then one day the Priest did not come so the Angel became worried.

 

The Priest was sick for he was old, but he fought all that even though he should be in bed he came to see, in the rose garden, the Angel.

 

With the last of his strength he mustered three more words as he looked into her face, “I see you.”

 

Then he fell to the ground and as she held his prone body to her's she says, “I see you too.”

 

With that the Priest did smile and his soul was gone.

 

The Angel started to weep and then something tapped her shoulder.

 

It was the Priest or at least his soul. He looked at her while smiling smugly and then said, “I see you.”

And then the Angel did know that what he meant what was not that he sees her but rather he loves her.

 

And together the Angel and the Priest made their way to heaven together.

 

 

Dedicated to all those who love and lost and then found it again.
