Mistaken...

"... first there were four, he wanted four more, and we didn't even know we were Us then..."

Stories apocalyptic scored by men
Arranged in a book of cannons when
swords of death, destruction and war
wrote Words of wrath casting famine's door.

~First there were four...

~She came with four more...

"... I watched as the Sevens healed and then, One said in a voice of Thunder, "COME!" to a
life of wonder... and the Writers came with Pen in hand, crowns open to Peace again.
Determination turns intent, glow and show through the crowds they went...
and spread a code..."

~This 'conquest' was The Way of Love...

A Revelation, Re.Written...

    I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the
four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" I looked, and there before me
was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a
conqueror bent on conquest.

    Mistaken...— Revelation 6:1-2 NIV

Awesome spiritual write, Izzy! I especially love the hope offered in the last verse when the rider "was given a crown." Captivating verse! Love, Carolyn
