The Prophets Journey

 (A lone voice whispers)


Press play before reading. Salute.


And so it rained inside

For what seemed like forty days and forty nights 


As I wandered in the desert alone


When the hard times and the whispering low voices came


Mild and wild feelings 


Peaked to unknown or unexplored heights of anxiety

 

To merge together and to then twirl their silver big batons high


As they danced in absolute unrestricted ecstasy as they unfurled


All the hidden memories and opaque trophies of troubles and strife of so many nameless returned


Twisted and contorting my opened mind like I was been stabbed with the Devils sharp knife


But as I prayed and weighed up the pro's and cons about the living 


And the happiness still to be found within all seemingly sorrowful lives


A vision of a white cross appeared and soft eloquently spoken words echoed throughout my ears


"Do not be scared of life and all its fears


Do not be scared to shed some sad tears


The smiling days are soon to come


Keep your faith in the one true One as in this life you still are allowed to run


After your time is called 


So many will be saved and rescued from the mighty fall to Abaddon


The Dark Lands of the Fallen Ones"


And so I walked on smiling


My death in Golgotha would be my gift to the world


Who am I to be late when the world I see before me 


From Bethlehem to all the other city gates are filled and overflowing with such jealously and hate


Let me help to reintroduce kindness compassion empathy and love into this sad world


It's why I was sent by the Most High from above
