Vision 1

in a vision ,I walk with many people
like lost sheep in a beautiful green field
looking toward the sunset
we travel to are destination,
not knowing where that might be
or what to do/I am confused.
but I keep up the pace with everyone else
we are getting close
because the people are getting cheerful and happy
suddenly without  warning the ground begins to shake
the earth beneath us opens up
as if to swallow us whole
screaming and panic surrounds me like
loud trumpets blasting in my ears
fire comes from the vast opening in the earth
as if time stood still
I hear an evil voice from below
the words mumbled together
I do not understand
and as time proceeded to slow
a bright light broke from the sky
a hand bigger than words can describe
descended from the heavens
forcing the evil back into the earth
and as if told we climbed onto this hand
at peace and fully relaxed
this magnificent hand lead us toward the sunset
were my vision ends....
