| Christ In The Desert
All ye that pass by, attend and see!
My love, I had a dream about you last night. I saw you wandering in the desert, crowned with thorns. Could this be a foretelling, a vision of the future? The Devil appeared before you and said that he would tempt you three times. But, I was able to see into your heart and there I saw the flower of our love which was protecting you from his evilness. When his temptations had no effect on you, he changed shape and became a withered bush that burned as brightly as the sun. His laughter seemed to follow me and I could still hear it echoing in my bedroom as I awoke this morning. It chilled me to the bone.
My love, what does this mean? You warned me that all things must pass away but so soon? It seems that I just found you!
No, please don't worry. Just rest your head on my breast and sleep and I will keep you safe. Sleep. Sleep.
Love,
