My Revelation

I believed it had to be a dream, or a scene from some old movie

A beast descending in the flames and a fire all consuming

A trumpet signaling the end, raining hail of burning embers

With glowing eyes ore a lake of fire to punish the the pretenders

I sat in fear, as I watched it burn, cleansing the earth and air together

Shivers slithered down my spine, like a snake released, untethered

The intensity singed my every breath and the sky appeared as lava

Storms clouds brewed with a rumble in a voice calling, Jehovah

I cried in fear of dying and I leapt out of my bed

Remembering the Bible verse of how the world would end

I don’t remember what happened next, but I awoke to someone with me

Reassuring there was time to change the way the world was going

So, I vowed right then and there that I would be a better person

To change the world around me and create another version

The fire did more than cleanse my mind, It burned a path for me to follow

And I will do the best I can can, if I’m granted a new tomorrow
