Journey to the King Day 1

Note:  These are characters originally from my "Poet's Journey to the Heart of Jesus", which can be viewed here:  http://drawingonfaith.tripod.com/lent/day1.htm    The main character is a girl/woman.  Her companions are a brown spider, a grey bat, a green turtle, and a pink rock (part of a star).

I had planned a short storyline about their shack being destroyed and them being led to an old castle type place where the girl is free to use her imagination.  As it turns out, today, Sept. 15 will be 70 days to Christ the King feast day, and, as happens sometimes to writers/artists, this story is demanding its own manifestation. 

You may notice a change in her hair and a few other minor changes from the Poet's Journey story.  I'm not sure if I will post one every day like I did for the Poet's Journey.  We'll all see what happens, thought I have some vague notion of the ending, I'm not really sure what will happen myself.  Please join me.

Journey to the King
Day 1

The call came.
An inner paging of gentle words
To journey to King Jesus,
Commonly known in liturgy
As Christ the King.
Seventy Days
Unforeseen.
How
Do we know that we heard?
We don't.
We do.
We leave the gates of Imagination
Open
Because poets must never close those gates.
We set out not knowing
Yet known.
Somewhere
In the universe.
