Someday Soon

The moon turned bloody red this eerie night,
And animals were in a frenzy, you could tell something was not right.
Dogs were howling, cats were hissing and their hair was standing on ends,
This was a night like no other and was wondering how the outcome would transcend.

Now clouds started gathering at a ferocious pace,
They were boiling in the sky like they were in a fevered race.
Bolts of lightning striking, setting trees aglow,
Thunder so loud and hard it bounces your body to and fro.

Like something out of a horror film but this night was real,
Mother nature at its worst is the only explanation for the deal.
Wind so strong tree limbs are falling all about,
You can’t hear your own words even when you shout.

Your stomach feels knotted as you try to fight back the fear,
Fiery hail now is falling as the clouds start to clear.
I hear the sounds of trumpets from somewhere afar,
I see the brilliance of something that is too bright and too close to be a shooting star.

I feel myself being lifted up as I see others floating beside me in the air,
Such a warm feeling of love as I drift without a care.
I glimpse down towards the earth and see a world on fire,
And quickly turn my head because I know what is about to transpire.

Did you the books of Joel, mathew and Revelation have a prophecy about the moon turning to blood before the great and terible day of God's judgment ... look, brother, I have as much fear in this that I do not want meet that. Powerfully realistic, man.

This poem can be taken in the literal sense or it could be an end of the world scenario depending on perspective. Either way, there is much to think about here. The vivid imagery conveys your thoughts in a powerful way. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for taking time to comment on my poem. Karen

Wow Ron your account is awesome, we think we see disasters today and we think they are bad but nothing will compare to what will happen when the Lord comes back. How important it is for them to accept Jesus as their Savior for He is the only one to turn to and save from this hell. God Bless. Leon

How well you describe the way nature's creatures react when a disaster is approaching, Ronald. And I love the way you see the earth afire as you drift above it. Is this a doomsday scenario? Terrifying images, but extremely well written! Love, Carolyn
