Would you dare?

If the next day that dawns on you, pins the question at all four corners of your existence: would you dare? If the wind carried messages of bravery toward the webs between your hands and feet: would you dare? If the ones before you had the chance, but you only the words: would you dare?

For the serpent temps many a times and those unprepared will see their blemished souls fall below into the abyss, to a burning furnace or the steaming lake of Hell. Nothing can stop this spiral process. We are forever concerned with our present, yet there is one, a more real one waiting the present we are trapped in right now. Call yourself a Christian, a Muslim, an Atheist, a Jew, a Buddhist or Shinto, Hindu or Pagan, you are just a mortal, a sinner who awaits judgement when the hour of your present draws to an end. If the ones walking before you had the secret, but you only the hope: would you dare? If freedom was just another word for love, would you dare?

When you love, you love completely. The tepid desire, just barely visible in the corner of your eye hung onto the thinnest branch of hope made you appear more eager than it sufficed. There is a comma to go with every emotion. It barricades itself neatly between the lines so the cursor can never get to it completely. There is freedom in the want for more. If the one you can almost touch turned and ignored the facts of life ruthlessly: would you dare? If the dream slowly died in your arms: would you dare?

The chanting increased and the crowd murmured slogans for a brave new world to appear. The Son then took all the fault and blame and saved those who were too weak to speak from eternal doom. Praise is what we all deserve and praise is what should never be taken out of context for the fear of gluttony. Then a melody arrives, trickled down from Paradise into the ears of those who have the ability to transcript them into audible bites for the rest of us to decipher. Sense and senseless appear tangled in the wardrobe mirror. A newborn child pops its head around. If the world stopped making sense at all: would you dare? If you knew the only one who can save you disappeared: would you dare?

If you knew you were never going to care: could you at least dare?
