Poem Title:
Poem
King James Bible. New Testament. Revelation 6:1 "Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, 'Come and see.'" I awoke to the sound of thunder crashing in my head. There is a faint mumbling in the background of a violent rumbling. A whisper, now growing louder as the sound embedded in my head is traveling deeper and deeper into my body. The sound vibrating through my bones and radiating out of my body, such that I levitate and ascend through the ceiling into the clouds above. I hear the voice and it's becoming clearer to understand "Come... " the whisper was soft and gave me a chill that crept down my spine. Passing through a cloud I was now in a marble stone hall that stretched as long as Heaven it seems. Before me stands a golden alter "... See." the voice bouncing in my head like thunder; a flash of light and twelve chairs appear floating on each side of the golden alter. As fast as they appeared, they vanish in a cloak of light. In the distance of heaven I hear the screeching screams of a Lamb being slaughtered... then again the twenty four chairs appeared with four creatures standing without shadows. Like a flash of lighting the images come and go. A Silence falls upon Heaven while an eerie presence lingers along with the music of faint chords being plucked. The music and the suspense subsidies; the voice, this time coming from the creatures "Come..." I am content to obey. I walked towards to the creatures; they all are winged hybrid animals covered in eyes. Some eyes looked frantic as if they where screaming out in pain; Some where crying, others looked right at me never relaxing their stare. " Come and See." and in his eyes I'd seen the fall of man, the end of all days, there was a dimming light after flames enveloped the earth... I then was awake lying on me bed, this is too vivid to have been a dream. Did I make it all up or was I in Heaven as it seems?
