Coming Storm

 A Coming storm At Star lights... call

all, signs of life above, 

beyond, between... rise and fall,

 

 as particles of living dreams in flow 

spin sands of the hourglass 

The vessel filled as it is emptied 

at an identical pace

 

we meet as always, somewhere,

in the calm and bright...

meet me up in the stars tonight...

 

Flash, did you see that... 

Lightning bolts, 

 

Can you hear it coming like a train

gathering momentum in its approach... 

 

gradually rumbling past

 

at first, far cries... 

each one incrementally closer, 

 

thunderous explosions in the skies

bringing a response to your inner being... 

 

as it's awakening to the coming storm 

a wall of rushing pressure, makes its presence known 

 

winds which thrash the trees, 

stir up the face of waters 

 

darkening the mood... 

as if a cosmic entity was arriving

 

do you feel the tension 

being released? in the air

 

falling rain, whipped  

to a frenzy...

 

streaming upon the ground

the atmosphere rumbling in reply

 

Meanwhile, back on earth... 

music playing ...in the background

Weather Report, Sweetnighter... 

BoogieWoogie Waltz

 

Television playing, same old daily news,

Sunday singing, down the street...

 

praising, Jesus... praising voices 

you'd ignored ...once, again... 

 

Still, Jesus is your friend...

 

 

But, what's up?

 

you're feeling 

a bit uneasy about today

 

something, in the air... 

what it is... you cannot say

 

the usual grind? 

sure, you'll endure it

 

shake it off the usual way

but, no... Not today

 

Tick... Toc, TIME is just not... 

on your side Today... 

 

the coming storm ONE, alone 

...cannot long endure

 

no amount of bravery 

can assure 

 

resist if you can 

the astral tides are closing, fast...

 

the key to the next dimension comes 

with the next wave hop on it, now

 

drop in its trough,

its time to rise 

 

are you so secure 

that what you find convenient to do...

 

will prove to be a haven,

granted with immunity

 

are you clairvoyant? 

so sure of the purity of your thoughts

 

imbued with a sanctity that will not become

yet another victim, to... 

 

not to mention, another key point of contention, 

 

perhaps, unjustly when one of the elite

questions your position under their interpretation, 

 

lawyers, pimp and strut battle, in proxy...

cash talks, the prevalent authority, balks

 

sets in motion... a compromise 

as words fly... back and forth 

 

it soon becomes clear you lose... 

no matter which avenue chosen,

 

no matter how much you resist 

they persist... continue to drain

 

not just another stolen dream,

stream of broken promises, 

 

still, you continue

at least this time...

 

it's but an imposition to you... 

not as its implied, open warfare

 

or the thinly veiled threat of

lynch mob violence... 

 

the chosen magistrate agrees... 

you must relent, move aside

 

claiming manifest destiny... 

but as the winds begin to shift

 

you see flashes... over the horizon 

as once more, fate intercedes

 

will you fight alongside your ancestors 

once again aside from the dream 

 

the lifeblood which flows

ever between

Powerful, C2. The coming storms with their collateral damage we must ever be prepared for and afterwards to be ever ready to chase rather than being chased. Thanks for sharing this "life's weather alert." Peace and Love.
