Truly Radiant.

The blond twins were playing. Curly hair. Sweet and naughty. Double pack. Fun above. Heaven the best playground to be. Laughing. Jumping. Sky diving. As little angels do. Their wings kept them safe. Always. Forever. They had no worries. No fears. Only joy to share. Together with the sun, the moon and the stars. Through a window they looked down. The earth was turning. Interesting to see from a distance. People were running around. Their heads in the clouds. It was a cold day in November. A bit of sun too.  The first day of the new month. The ones appeared on the calendar. One. One One.

She was still sleepy as she stretched her legs and arms in her bed. The alarm clock went off. She could not appreciate the sound. The alarm clock learned to fly. At once. No preparation. Successfully hitting the wall. Suddenly. Broken. No repair. She was not in the mood to start the day. That morning in November. Memories kept coming. The scenes changed rapidly. Like in a movie. Even a bit faster. She was trying to understand the message. No answer yet. Focusing now. That one image. It took her breath away.

The house was empty. She was all alone. No living soul outside. No cars. No words. One eye on the book that she bought yesterday. She was amazed when she discovered the book in the shop. She felt a presence. Energy of a soul. An invisible hand touching the sheets. The pages of the book reacted. There was no wind. Windows closed. She tried to be scared.  Chapter eleven. Full stop. 'Heavenly visit'. She saw the twins dancing on the white sheets. It felt good. Soul good. Their blond hair was truly radiant.

The hand had brought the blond twins into her room. They were smaller than human babies. Still sugar sweet. With human traits. They looked at her. Both seemed to be able to scan her heart. Translating the code. Secret formula never ever revealed. Sometimes when humans need it most, there is an intervention from heaven. The twins were on a special mission. She was feeling sad. The twins got an alert. They used their magic to heal her heart. She needed a mirror to restore her faith. Her childhood had been a torture.

The twins played with a ball. Very nearby. Little stars dancing like butterflies around the ball. She felt how her heart followed the turning ball. She became peaceful and calm. The ball went from the left to the right and to the left again. Happy voices. Melting the audience. She started to smile. The first smile since a long time. She wanted to play with the twins now. She asked for the ball. The twins noticed her request. The ball changed direction. Reaching her hands. She opened her hands to take the ball.

The moment the ball touched her body, she started to shiver. The twins were gone. The laughter had disappeared. It was silent. She only saw four little baby steps on her sheets. They must have been here for real. She felt sleepy. Her eyes closing down. Dream or reality. She would never understand. The next hour she was far away. In another world. White sheets moving. Slowly. Gently. Her soul was being restored. Touched by heaven. The twins continued to play. High in the sky. Their mission was achieved. Another human saved.

She woke up again a second time. The alarm clock went off. Again. This time she had more patience. She pushed the button. It stopped. A smile on her lips. The dream was awesome. She felt renewed. Deep within. Healthy. Balanced. Free. She called her boyfriend to say that she loved him deeply. He reacted in the most warm way. Naughty and sweet. They felt happy. As if a huge luggage had been removed. Soul suddenly. The twins started to laugh out loud. They danced around the stars. Four sweet tiny naked baby feet. Soul much fun.
