The Key

On my way to the Universe of Truth, I made an acquaintance that I would remember. It was dark, but the darkness was full of bliss. I walked for a while, or perhaps more, for all I can remember of the time, was that it lost all of the significance it had to me with every step I took. I walked, not knowing where I was going, but never feeling lost. It was a feeling of freedom that overtook me instead, for I had nowhere to be, yet I had everywhere to go. Hence, as my feet carried me, my heart guided me, as my soul whispered sweet lullabies of Love to the night.

I found myself walking towards a lake, as calm as the night could be, reflecting the sight of an endless sky. It was not a moonlit night, yet the stars were enough to shed their light. As I approached the lake, I noticed how the air got cooler against my skin. I buried my hands in the pockets of the coat I did not remember putting on and continued walking. A sweet breeze flew to me, carrying within it, a message of love.

You're close

I am near

Keep walking

The sign will be clear

I smiled. The time had finally come. My presence here was partly revealed to me, and that caused a shiver to run through my spine. I did as I was told, and kept walking. As I walked along the lake, my feet kicking a few pebbles on the way, I heard a whisper coming from nowhere particular. The whisper was sweet, almost mellow.

When I finally met the acquaintance of my destiny, I came to realise I was living a moment I never dared to dream of. How fascinating is it, to realise the bliss of a moment, during the moment itself? The face of my acquaintance could not be described in any particular way, but perhaps the word light would come close to doing it justice. A face of light. Shining its peace upon me as soon as my eyes met its bliss.

A secret shall be revealed to you

But it is not entirely new

You've been told about it for as long as you can remember

But your ears were not ready yet

To hear this beautiful secret

Everything is predestined for you

And each whisper is kept in a box

In a room full of those boxes

Of what life has written for you

Every experience you go through

Shall forge a key

For a box containing

Another piece of Truth

The time has come

For another key to be revealed

Here it is

In my hand, it is concealed

Use it

To open the box of Love

It will teach you

Secrets you have never even dreamt of

Learn how to use it

To the best of your potential

Do not ever neglect Him

That is essential

After that, my acquaintance disappeared. I was left leaning against a tree, a new key in hand. I smiled to myself, before looking up at the stars.

I was given the key, to the box that was whispering the name of My Beloved.
