Glowing Light

What happen I kept asking myself What happen is still hanging over my head What happen is rumbling in the river bed I had an uncomfortable feeling in my chest So I grabbed my bike and rode through the bushy park Nothing was appealing and nothing was amusing The grass was burnt the trees were drying up and the beautiful flowers were gone But a patch of wild marigold was still hanging on They reached out and touched my strong arms They were telling me to keep holding on I kept riding through the deserted park looking for summer but it was gone Fall was disappearing too and it seems as if winter was dodging around the corner Dry leaves littered the track and a white man in a red shirt was riding behind my back The fire engine blazed down the street disrupting my heart beat He shouted "Right I don't want to scare you" I stayed on the left side until he passed but soon after a woman and a baby appeared on my path I hoped that I could have one day without anyone standing in my way but it wasn't meant to be so Nature is divine so I greeted her with a smile and crossed onto the other side of the road I found a comfortable spot near the side of a swelling stream and took out the book "what happen" and place it on the rock beside my bible Yellow trees lined up in a row showing me which way to go The mountains looked strong and mighty and the message is hanging from the sky I sat on the stone in the middle of the running stream and anchored my feet in the water and whispered a silent prayer then read an intriguing scripture I spread my back upon the rock and placed the bible upon my chest and commune silently with my master The pregnant clouds covered me and watched over me while the birds flew by and honored my collected moment Everything was tranquil and the composed sound of water flowing down the stream made me nervous It was as if something sinister was about to happen But and the trees and the rocks kept my company I lie down on the rock and closed my eyes and absorb the stillness of my mind My thoughts traveled and touch something majestic I wrapped my arms around it and and blessed it with a kiss I rose up from the rock and opened the book "what happen" but I was not in the mood to read so I placed it back on the rock And grabbed the bible instead I stood on a rock in the middle of the stream with water running over my feet and read a verse then prayed aloud in a voice that could be heard Suddenly I saw a light glowing in the water it shone directly upon me and covered the rock and the space around me A power came over me and tears streamed down my face and I could feel the heat from the light all over me I continue to pray and it suddenly disappeared under the thick clouds. A strange feeling arose in my stomach after that spiritual encounter I road away from that place and pushed my bike over the steep hill The sun was not shining and everything looked gloomy and dim The usual traffic raced up and down the street setting fire to my anxious feet I crossed the street and headed home but the Holy Spirit had me spell bound It stopped me and turned me around I parked my bike at the top of the street and took out the book "what happened" and the holy bible I placed the book on the ground And read a scripture from the holy bible at the top of the street The traffic had built up and everyone was looking curious Suddenly a bright light illuminated from the sky and shone upon me It dispersed its light and covered my bike and the book and reflected on the school bus that was waiting in the traffic A powerful heat came over me then the light disappeared. How can I explain what happened How can I explain the glowing light from heaven God has heard my cry and he is standing by.
