The Last Giant

A New World

By Jameel Hodges IIPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

The one who destroys to create; creates to recreate; and recreates to renew all life. Moving at the speed of thought the fastest in the known universe. Appearing in the outside world as a dwarf, yet appearing in the internal world as a giant. To be a giant isn't to tower over others or to be bigger than anyone else. To be a giant is to have a giants heart. Embodying the full capacity to love without bounds. The one who bears the light suffers long. Not because of shining, yet because of the belief that they do not deserve to shine bright in a world devoid of light. Those around attempt to steal the light that is theirs for the glory of themselves. Only to realized the burden of light is to also bear the hatred casted upon the bearer for those who're blinded by it. The giant is a lantern for all those who wish to see themselves. Yet all do not like what is shown to them by the light provided. Stray to close and all if forgotten stray to far and all is lost. For the fear of thyself and light within is great. Scared to fall or descend into a deeper darkness than which they currently reside. Never a thought crosses their mind that the giant has been to every place within that they're unwilling to go. As it is the very source of the light he knows.
