The Eyes See
This pivotal character is a wild card. Always on the edge. A boundary pusher, with powers and abilities to create beauty . . . or catastrophe. Read the excerpt below. Feel free to share your thoughts about its meaning.
Maybe I’ll share an insight.
Maybe I’ll keep you guessing.
I am Moloch’s daughter.
I, who knew only darkness, have seen light.
I, who knew only hate, have seen love.
I didn’t know I was lost; now I’ve been found.
I will not return.
I will not.
Or I will.
I have not decided.
I will see through new eyes.
I will learn through a new soul.
Not by contract, but by choice, I will watch . . .
I will study . . .
I will practice this new way of life.
Then, I will choose for myself.
Stay in light, or return to darkness?
Stay in love, or return to hate?
Stay found, or return to that lost place of isolation and conflict?
Which will win?
You will help me.
You will teach me.
In return, I will give shelter from Moloch.
Or maybe I won’t.
Only I can decide.
You will be my light.
Through your eyes, I will watch.
