The Garden Path

The sun shone in the brilliant sea blue sky with all the intensity of its power, unfettered by any hint of the curse of true darkness.

The couple walked, hand in hand, through the majestic garden, drinking in all the glorious sounds and smells that flooded in on their senses. A myriad of birds sang in orchestra, each voice intertwining with the other to make the ear delight in their song. The fragrances of ten thousand different flowers perfectly intermixing with one another to produce the most intoxicating perfume.

The man looked into his wife’s eyes...desiring to read her to the inner most depths of her heart. The woman returned her husbands gaze, her heart’s desire to be known, and to know him, in return.

The young couple radiated a relationship of pure joy. Never a word of hurt or scorn. Never an action tainted by the filth of selfishness. Their hearts were joined as one, their goal to bring this overflowing love into the awaiting world, so as to further its wondrous glory.

The future was before them, endless in its promise of blessing and joy…

As the couple moved towards the fountain of life, in the center of the garden…a deadly serpent slinked into the shadows…its tongue dripping with the murderous venom of deception…
