I lay prone, dri­ven down by my col­lec­tive sins.

I try to cry
As I lay tied from my ankles to my thighs.

My skin has been flayed from my body and I moan in supreme pain.

I am exposed

Hooded peo­ple walk past, their faces shrouded in shadow.

Some laugh, oth­ers shake their heads, as if in judgment…

Some cry… One per­son approaches me, I think it is a woman.

She lays a yel­low rose upon my chest and one tear rolls down her cheek
Who she was I can­not guess

She gets up her body shak­ing as in great pain and rejoins the procession…

Is there mercy in this world I ask my self, Confused.

No, Only ret­ri­bu­tion! There is no such thing as mercy in this world.

The pro­ces­sion ends. A strange wind blows, caress­ing my exposed nerve endings.

I moan, I have never felt such pain before. I was about to pass out when I heard this rum­bling, deep it sounds, the earth beneath me shudders.

Dispite the pain I raise my head slightly and see this huge wheel of rock rolling towards me.

I scream, “What mad­ness is this?” “What is my crime?”

It rum­bled, “I am the wheel of truth, ret­ri­bu­tion and jus­tice; I have been called many things,

I was forged in magma when the earth was young and given intel­li­gence by the divine one.
I judge and you have been exposed. Your sins are your own. That is why you have been flayed down to sinew and bone.”

You are a lucky Human! For my judg­ment gives a chance at rebirth. The Devine one’s jus­tice is eter­nal, invi­o­late and terse.

The wheel approached. I strug­gled to move but I could not. I pan­icked as the wheel stopped at my feet… Be ready Human, my judg­ment is pain.

It rolled over my feet and I could hear the bones snap like twigs in a sum­mer storm

Up it rolled to my femur and it shat­tered like chrys­tal glass dropped by a care­less hand,

On it rolled, I could no longer feel the pain. The human body can take so much and then it ignites in flame.

It paused at my chest. Its voice almost a caress. Was their pas­sion there?

Good­bye Human…. Then their was Darkness…/p>

I did not awake. I sud­denly became con­scious. I did not have a body I was sim­ply aware.

In the dark­ness, beams of light pranced back and forth, laugh­ing at my confusion.

Where am I, who am I… I cried! One light approached me and said you are pure energy New One!

What? “You are the energy the almighty calls upon when deeds need doing. You will learn New One. Oh yes, you will learn… And after you have served your time, into the eter­nal embrace of the sublime.”

Con­fused… I heard a gen­tle voice call­ing me… And I fol­lowed it.

Con­tent.
