She was a..
She was a star.
The embodiment of golden light.
It radiated from her soul, and everywhere she walked they knew.
They knew she was love reincarnated into a physical form.
It was in her smile.
The smile that made you feel as if home could be anywhere she was.
She was home to me, though it looked like she was forever searching for home within herself.
But..doesn’t she know ?
That the love radiating outside of her, warming everything she touched like cookies baking in the oven, like the warm tropical sun delicately laying its rays on the foliage below, was also coming from inside of her ?
Doesn’t she know ?
That her eyes twinkled like God had captured a piece of this immense galaxy and fit into those deep brown eyes that were moats of liquid gold.
Doesn’t she know that her soul is liquid gold ?
Can she feel me staring at her ?
She looks at me and smiles.
Fuck, it takes my soul.
That smile.
God, doesn’t she know ?
She must know, that smile knows a secret about what she’s doing to me.
She standing in this field surrounded by wildflowers, flowers of every kind. The sun radiates off her and it’s like they’re exchanging this divine energy , because her eyes are closed now, like she’s become part of the sun.
Though her eyes are closed, I feel like she’s still looking at me wondering what I’d do.
Wondering if I’ll join her.
Her skin is powerfully brown and underneath deep red tones that shimmered like rivers on her skin in the sun. God made her gold, she was born with radiance.
She must know.
I wanted her to know.
I walked up to her, and she opened her eyes and looked at me.
“ I love you “
She smiled at me, that smile, she said “ I know.”
Then this beautiful creature pulled my face close to hers and kissed me.
My soul, my soul, my soul.
It cracked as the warm chocolaty liquid gold of her love rushed through me, breaking every barrier I thought I had.
Her love broke through.
We fell to our knees and our kiss broke.
My soul was still cracking, I had joined her and I didn’t know what that meant until now.
It meant that every piece of stone within my body had to come crumbling down, I was in love with her.
She held my face, and tears welled up in her eyes as she watched as my entire entity was washed in her love and divine grace.
Could this be it ? Could this be real ? Can I join her ?
This process was painful, I felt as if these walls were apart of my physical being and she cut them down with a bulldozer of immeasurable light.
Her love had no boundaries for my pain.
The light began to shine through.
I kissed her again, deeply , intensely, passionately until i lost myself within her.
I wanted her to feel, what she gave to me.
That unconditional love.
That home.
She pulled back from me, her eyes reflecting a dazzling luster of rainbow brown, smiling as if she had figured something out.
“ Once you fill your heart with love. Home is wherever you want it to be.”
She was a lighthouse on a dark night.
She was my home.

Karen C. Whalen, Novelist
Friends Come to Call, Karen C. Whalen’s fourth novel in her Tow Truck Murder Mysteries, captivates the reader to the very end. Mystery, romance and intrigue combine to make the reader question, deliberate and draw conclusions, although not necessarily the solution to the mystery. With the Christmas theme, it’s a perfect gift to engross teens…
