Notes About The Poem

This is a true story! I had the vision of the Asian Tsunami 2004 that hit a large part of the peninsula! This happened on 24 early morning around 3am when I woke up in fear. I mentioned it to my family, particularly about the chennai bus that was caught in floods but people running spoke various languages including telugu! When the Tsunami hit two days later on the 26th I was completely dumb struck!!! I can never explain this. I have had similar visions with other events in my life, hence my unshakeable faith in God!!

 

 

The Unexplained

Christmas dreams are of happy occasion,
of bells and colours, Santa and presents,
but floods, deluge I saw in my vision,
of floating buses and drifting corpses,
in panic people scattered for cover,
water swirled around ready to drown them,
trashing cars, collapsing city tower,
afloat I saw baskets, carts, dirt and scum,
I awoke in fear, I do not deny,
but what it all meant, I had not a clue!
Next day with family I shared my dream,
On boxing day, dream was reality,
I had foreseen the asian tsunami 2004!
stranger still are many languages I heard,
from all the regions the flood waters hit!

Tom Cunningham October 1, 2020 at 3:25 PM An amazing experience Krish, I bet you felt cold when you saw that it was real. Ill always remember that boxing day, every minute the death toll was rising. Tom Krish Radhakrishna October 2, 2020 at 4:18 AM Tom, yes! It was unbelievable! I have never understood the reason, why I had the vision when I could do nothing about it!! But a few more such visions that came true, made me respect the fact that there is more to life than science can understand! That from a doctor of medicine!
