Great Evening Meal

Birds in midheaven flying all around
Soaring high then gliding down
Gazing with hunger upon the town
Instinctively knowing up from down
Observing unbridled spiritual breakdown

White horse and rider with august kingly crown,
Bright white, bloodstained flowing gown
To all birds an invitation did righteously resound
A great feast of kings and commanders showdown
A feast of strong and great after the takedown. 

Birds in midheaven flying all around
Soaring high then gliding down
Pleasing the rider of supreme renown  
Gazing with hunger upon each town
Great Evening Meal's final countdown

Gregory Richard Barden February 15, 2019 at 7:19 AM Really great interpretation of apocalyptic prophecy, Mark, and that's not easy to do ... Peter's visions were quite extraordinary things, with such rich symbolism and ambiguity ... I have perused them and studied them for a long time, and still so much is of divine understanding alone, I believe. This is going to my favs. Well-done, my friend! Mark Toney February 15, 2019 at 4:46 PM Greg, you don't know how happy you've made me by commenting on this one and making it one of your favs! I was rather sad that no one had commented on this; but then again, John's visions in Revelation can be rather dark and sobering, yeah? Take care, my friend! ~Mark
