Chereads / AARONAS AND THE KING'S DIARIES / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8:

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8:

I found myself resting and awaken by the sounds of birds enjoyed the morning by its horizon. It seemed to be playing through the cedar trees reflecting a picture of gold and green, creating a deep longing in my soul. What I noted was the quiet around me. My heart is yearning for something I left back home but shut the feeling at once. I immediately am surrounded by some indescribable ceaseless peace, the same I felt when I find myself at the kings altar of his God. Guess I somehow understood what the king meant. Peace of mind opens one's eyes up to behold the surroundings that could be described as serenity. The voices in my head becomes more clearer and drives me to let go of all the wars going on in my head, even the wars of my King for the Lord of which I have distance myself willfully.

I do not know what this feeling is but I do not want to let it go, wondering if it is a good thing to have. I want to reach out to this peace and wish to hold on to it. I speak to it not to go and leave me yet. With this starts to compose music of praise, praise of the beauty of his creation and the wonderment of its existence. My mother believed that her God creating it all and being at peace somehow brought me close to believing it too. I have decided to write everything down got up and found myself at a sparkling brook where even the waters are playing tricks on me it was as 'sweet as honey'. I am quenched, bathed and were summoned by the kings men. What I noted was that the feeling never diminished. I noted a fear in the men's eyes and somehow very remarkable but I never question it to them directly.

The King's men were in a hurry and very weary. I wondered if they fear me because I am the confidant of the most feared King alive. Their sentiments are not mine I fear no man nor any spirit.

King Hiram of Tyre prepared a feast for me and food fit for a king. Music and dancing with woman parading before the king's guest. Although all of them are beautiful I chose not to make eye contact because of my realisation, how lonely I have just become.

"Welcome Servant of King David it is indeed a privilege to have you in our midst" the king announced me.

"I am honored" I said.

King of Tyre relates what a friend to him David was and this rubs me up the wrong way. I told the king of David's wishes for him to send his craftsmen for logs cedar. "David is my friend and I will do about anything for him, so on his command will do whatever is necessary".

"My king I have already identified the best place for the trees as it somehow feels like home to me. The green forest where your men came for me has the best quality".

The king immediately turned as green as the forest and said "you must leave that place at once, no-one had survived those forest for it is cursed. You may find your rest in my castle for the night".

I apologetically made my excuses until I was ordered to stay. I did not want to dishonor my king in his friend eyes, so agreed. The music became louder and the dancing with more strikingly beautiful woman made their way to the King and performs for him. Everything seems way too explicit for my liking until my eyes fell on a beautiful young woman. This woman, remind me of the kings temptress. I cannot look away and neither could she.
