Half past beady eyed midnight, in the pale moon light, mist kissed tendrils of twig epitaph, cast gnarled finger shadows down fallen leaf path. White and silent running shoes beat in tune with ear bud blues; while rushing was the brushing of red shorts over dark leotard, as she passed by tombstone in the church graveyard. And her pale pony tail swished, as she sincerely wished for an oasis of peace to still her storm of insomnia sea.
And all the way along the way, the windows to her soul saw hungry eyes in the bushes; made the skin of her flesh crawl in chill will rushes...
"At what point exactly did I decide this fix for insomnia to be good?" Cheryl past puff rued in mid huff. "This jog half past beady eyed midnight, in the pale moon light, just might fix me for good."
And down the fallen leaf path green eyes aglow, as if in the know, hissed out and spat, "Meee-rrr-owww," a no pass warning to get back and scat, before the attack.
Cheryl ran faster. Put black cat behind her. And as her heart fluttered, she between breaths muttered, "Scared the pee, right outta me!"
And did her skin crawl, as still the more she saw, predator eyes gawking, at the prey they were stalking. Til too late to stop in the cloaking mist, dead ahead loomed hulking figure hooded dressed. And Cheryl's white shoes in unison screeched, as, "Jesus save me!" She beseeched.
Into his arms she slipped. Into terror she slid. And he held her tight, yet calmed her fright. "Young lady, tis a bit too late at night, to from insomnia take flight." And he said, as he took gently her right arm, "Come, calm your alarm. You have past the eyes of yon graveyard. You are now near the house of the Lord."
And the hooded figure guided her up the fallen leaf path, soon lit thru stained glass windows the mist by pure light bath. And the hooded figure said, as he pulled back cowl, "So are the windows of His church... windows of the soul."
Looking up into his bearded face, Cheryl wondered was this the case, "Are you Jesus?"
And he smiled, and he said, "Thank you, I do try, but I too was just like you, in the dark letting predator eyes run me down... when the eyes I was running from were my own."
And the pastor opened the door... welcomed in another soul to Jesus' shore...
Psalm 17:8 KJ: "Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings."
John 8:12... the light of the world, Jesus... clothes us... Isaiah 61:10
Mark 4:35-41... Jesus stills the storm... brings safe to shore...
There are over 500 verses about the eyes in the Holy Bible...
Looking out or looking in... the eyes are windows to the soul...
The eyes are wired directly to the brain, what we seek and see physically, affects us spiritually...
What we seek and see spiritually, affects us physically...
Others see us...
God sees all... and will guide our sight, if we just ask Him in the name of His son... Jesus...
Psalm 119:105 KJ: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light to my path."
John 1:1-4 with John 8:12 KJ explains exactly who the Word and the light and the life are... Jesus...
Eyes too wide open... like focus... Genesis 3:4-5 KJ (This lie appealed to self ego and led to sweat and toil under the sun and death.)
Seek and see... focus on God thru Jesus... have abundant life... John 10:10-11
Thank you Mel...
