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
