Cobalt x Monochrome

I entered the forest.
A forest of no return.
Rumour has it that eden was within it.
Being a human,
It's within him to find his peace of mind.

Thus I began my journey.
A journey where there is no turning back.
My compass facing the north,
I stood in front of the thick forest.

Once I entered the forest,
there was no light.
It was full of despair.
I went blind.
My sense of sight was erased totaly.

However, with the goal to keep on going,
I kept on trecking through the darkness.
Where was I going, I had no idea.
I kept on walking and walking..

Walking..

Walking..

I finally break into a sprint.
But to no avail,
I didn't seem to have moved.

I came to a halt.
I looked around me.
My mind was in a helpless state.
I was confused and lost.
Why? I told myself.

Just then, I remembered my goal.
Why I was here.
And that is to find Eden.

I closed my eyes
And calmed my mind.
I kept on thinking that I would achieve my goal.
The thought of what eden would be like,
kept on swirling in my mind.

From there, I kept on walking and walking.
I trusted my senses and relaxed myself.
I kept on walking till I slammed into something hard.

I stummbled to the ground.
My eyes blinked open.
What stood infront of me was a tree.
I was captivated.
Not by the tree but soemthing else.

At the bottom of the tree, was a flower.
But not just any flower.
A Cobalt flower.
Something which is one of it's kind.

I looked around and noticed that
there was another simmilar tree
and the same flower at the exact same position.
I looked at what seemed like a gate infront of me.

The moment I stepped into it,
the darkness was swept away.
Sunlight took over.
What was infront of me was breathtaking.
Meadows and meadows of Cobalt flowers were littered everywhere.

However, just before I could take another step, I was swallowed by darkness again.

I was left on my knees.
"I guess, Eden isn't for anyone to come knocking on huh?"

However, I picked myself up and discarded any signs of sadness.
What was left in this darkness which I could see.
Was that one Cobalt flower.
Radiating a bluish light from it.

I went forwards and sat by it.
Even in the darkness.
Even if I can't return to where I came from,
Even if I were to lose everything,
I still have this one little flower.

But as soon as I touched the flower,
It turned greyish and faded to dust.

I fell into dispair.
I knew that I won't live long.
It was at that time that I know that.
There are some things which should be left alone.
