Don’t Lose Heart

Upon his return, Gonyaul knelt down beside his sleeping beauty and enjoyed watching the peace that sleep can bring. She had quite the ordeal; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It was a testimony of her strength to bend but not instantly break under such a heavy weight.

He folded the map, admiring her new addition, and carefully moved it off to the side to make a space for himself. Gonyaul curled up next to her, snuggling behind her and putting an arm over her gently so as not to wake her.

He felt like sleep was late leaving for its visit tonight and passed the time thinking over their situation. He whispered to the sleeping Voah; however, the advice was also for himself.

“You feel like all lost and fear scream you name. I wonder same too. Let me walk with you through this storm. Don't lose heart. You no alone.

I know it now hard
But we going make a home. These bad only temporary and will turn to beauty and glory. So no lose heart. We going to make it…..”

His voice got softer and slower as he talked, switching over into a vauxian until he also fell asleep.
