A Narrowed Soul

Tonight I grow tired of keeping the secrets that were spark within my visions. I must tell someone of what I saw and how the end came to be. From the beginning we never understood how the human spirit came to be and the common thread of existence that bounds us like a string of beads waiting to go around the infinite loop of our universe. Changes have come and gone and yet my memories do not change. I saw the beginning and I saw the end but yet I live. Why? I remember seeing so many things. I felt the fabric of everyone I ever knew intertwined within my every breath. It was like we were machines. As they say we were someone’s eyes and ears to a world that was going to end. We collected as much data as we could before the end. I am not sure if they know how much data I retained from these ordeals. And maybe they know exactly and I am here because of it still. But why? I was taken through worlds that made no sense. Worlds that were chaotic with no remorse. I feared what I saw and asked my almighty GOD to help me overcome. My children how I love them so. My daughter she was with me in my journey. She is my life and what I believe has helped me make sense of everything that has and is happening. Where am I? Is this my world? Is this the world that has become or just another vision. Someone’s idea of living. Who would do this to a man? I lost every connection to my existence, who I thought were my friends and family were only decoys of someone’s sentence. Why? What do they hope to gain? Am I lost in my mind? Is what I thought to be my reality a dream or a memory, am I blind. Once I remember what it felt like to live with no fear. To know that tomorrow you will get up and everything would be as it was and still here. Unchanged and forgiving. How these things have change me! How these things have narrowed my loving soul. But I still hold the greatest love for my GOD. If it wasn't’t for his helping hand reaching down and pulling me from the depths of the great beyond, I would have never been able to tell you this story. We need to love life once again. We need to go back to the basics my friend. Is it too late? Has the human race dwindled to the point that we must visit our past to fix our future? The messages are clear, listen closely and you will hear. Look even closer and you will see that we must never lose site of what it means to live. This babble means nothing to who ever reads it but for tonight it will help me sleep. Good night.
