afflatus, noun;
1. A divine imparting of knowledge; inspiration.
He held a glowing orb on his shoulder and back, a globe that glowed vibrantly and with the colors of an entire spectrum. I watched in awe as he stood there, not moving an inch. I knew why he was there, it was penance for not seeing eye to eye with someone else.
I tried think of something to say, but only two words came to mind.
"Thank you."
Upon hearing that, the figure started to tremble. I looked up further and saw why. He began to cry. I don't know if they were tears of joy or tears of sadness, but he cried. I watched the tears streamed down his worn face that was chiseled with regret and perseverance. As the tears subsided he looked down at me.
"No kind stranger. Thank you."
Suddenly I felt a surge of emotions build up in myself. Pride, joy, sadness, anger, all various emotions with a word attached surged through me. He and I, we are the same. Despite our size, despite the path ahead of us, the colossus and I were the same. We both wanted to hear two simple words, to feel like someone cared.
-Compassion runs deep. Deep enough to act as the support to hold an entire sky up.-
