If I Could Trade Eternity, You'd Sell, Not Rent that Soul to Me. . . A Spiritual Riddle ~By CordieB

Rick Mobs at Mine Enemy Grows Older, who I discovered through Paisley (thanks Jodie), has invited his readers/viewers to give words to his beautiful art. The above titled art needs no words; as it is a supernatural story in and of itself; but, since Rick has so graciously allowed us to put words to his stunning creation - here is my rendition. . . in another spiritual riddle . . .

I've tricked you since the days of old

Enticed by me, you'd lease your soul

If I could trade eternity . . .

You'd sell, not rent that soul to me.

I'm the most illusioned of all evil spirits

My existence holds but one egotistical merit

I bring forth false vision to the being

who can not bring himself to seeing

the wondrous beauty of the soul within

that shines like gold when love seeps in

that lasts through style and passing trends . . .

I'm the most deathly of all deadly sins!

If I could erase your lines of wear and tear

you'd trade your soul without a care

If I could make all bow to you

there'd be no limits to what you'd do

because you don't see the beauty in creation

of what God blessed you with in relation

to all God's creation, magenta, black, or white

I've tricked your vision; jaded your sight

by grace but for only a twinkle in time on earth

for God forbids his art to loose full worth . . .

in the vastness of creation's grand eternity

Who am I?

I am the deadly spirit of Vanity
