.......bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter
[Isaiah 5:20]
**************************
Memories
"Come! Come to me!
Aren't I beautiful,
and all too lovely?"

Soul
"No. Go away.
You will only hurt me."

Memories
"Oh, please? Please?
Come, now!
For I am so alluring.....
Come,
and stroke me,
touch me, now!"

Soul
"No!
You will only hurt me!
Your sting is sharp and deadly!
Go away!"

Memories
"Oh, please?
Just one more time!
Then I will leave you
alone......I promise you!
Just this one
more time...."

Soul
"Well......"

Memories
"Oh.....just look at
my tender limbs,
and soft skin...
Here, just have a
touch."

Soul
"Hm, I don't know...
Go away."

Memories
"But, you do know!
What sweetness
I give to you!
Honey drips from
my mouth....
I am your
weakness!
Dangerous and deadly!
You cannot resist!"

Soul
"Oh........maybe,
maybe...
maybe, just this
one more time."

Memories
"Come to me!
Come!
You are so weak!
And, I am so very
lovely.
Come close!
Can you smell me, now?"

Soul
"Yes!
Yes, I.....
I can smell you!
I can!
Oh, memories!
Come to me!
Envelope me,
Drown me,
in your sweetness!
Come, now!
I implure you!
Please!"

Memories
"Yes, here I am.....
and,
here, I will stay
but, just for a moment....
only to give you a taste."

Soul
"Ah, yes!"

Memories
"But, alas, my love
I can only stay
for a moment......
remember?"

Soul
"Oh, no.
No!
No, the pain!
No, no!
Please!
The pain!
The pain is killing me!
I am being stung by
your needles!
And, I cannot escape!
Oh, you bitter sweetness,
go away!
Go! And, never return!"

(Siren of memories disappears
beneath the surface,
and swims away.)

Soul
"Oh!
I am in such pain!
I am drowning,
and I cannot be
rescued!
I cannot see anything,
but grief,
and sadness.
I am drowning,
and there is none
to save me!"

Lord Jesus
"Here I Am, child.
Take My Hand."

Take heart,
it is I;
have no fear.
[Mark 6:50]
