Excerpt from "The 5 Keys"

(An excerpt from, The 5 Keys, a short 8,000 word piece I am thinking about publishing on this blog. )

The 5 Keys  -page 16

A dark moonless night, a valley of heartache, a garden of salvation.

A garden of agony.

A garden of sorrow.

A garden of sacrifice.

Only one, the Perfect One, could do it.

Entering a garden in darkness, He brought us into the light.

The light of eternal life.

His saving essence dripped upon the ground.

A crown of mockery thrust upon him.

Nails of sacrifice pierced his perfect skin.

A blade of man thrust in his side.

Did I cry when it happened?

Do I cry now?

Do I feel his pain when I fall short?

How many drops fell with life giving anguish because of me?

How many tears do I shed because of Him?

Some days I stand lost, wondering if I am worth it.

So many to save, do I really matter?

Worlds without end I am told, do I even exist?

I sit in my murky pool of troubles and wonder.

Then the light breaks forth on the dawn of understanding.

It was all for me.

Yes it was for them too, but still... it was all for me.

A burst of truth splashes upon my soul.

Enlightenment streams down my face in single eternal droplets of hope.

He would have suffered, even just for me.

-The Feeble Soul
