Dream Scene (dd) ... Truth Decides

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my dream, Christmas trees
Are glittering, glowing, penetrating the sky

Showering the horizon with tinsel, stardust,
Pine and mist

Small children play and sing
Adults marvel and dance
Praying this holiday will never end

All immersed with hope
With wonder and joy

So much energy flows from within this gathering
The world seems one and at peace

Suddenly, a ball of flame
Billows past the treetops
Over our heads and across the mountainside

The sky erupts with thunder-
I see a far-off sea transform into vapor
Steam rising from its exposed terrain

A transparent figure emerges
Hovering across the forest night

Its voice echoes upon the wind
“Only truth decides which way life will be:
A far greater plan for you and me”

It's a good thing that angel arrived or it would have been a dirty, cold wet dream.

A masterpiece of insight, Robert! Great lines in this memorable write...

"Truth Decides" is indeed a wisdom and brought to mind a book I'm reading titled "The Code", 10 intentions for a better world...this quote opens chapter 13 - "You are learning that once you intend something, and it is in your highest and best good, it will make itself available to you. If, however, you are still believing in fear or suffering more than you believe in the highest good, you will be experiencing more of that. - Eagleheart

... Kinda soberin when all we can think about is a) personal satisfaction (let's be honest here...) b) world peace ... and beyond that?? Who knows. But thank you, Jude, for grabbing our attention and focussing it towards the Bigger Picture. Let's face it, for those of us who KNOW that the essence of one's being is just in dress rehersal at the moment, and, once the vestments of flesh are shed, then there's a whole new spiritual arena to be re-clothed in and another call and purpose in our God-inspired lives. Mind you, while we're here, world peace is not a bad practice ground... after all, if we can't get THAT right, then what are our credentials for contributing towards anything "greater"? Wonderfully visual and valuable thoughts to focus the mind on for the Winter Solstice, December 22nd, World Orgasm Day.... Yes, folks... the call has gone out to generate that extra-special heat in an effort to cultivate the right environment for World Peace! :)) An earth-moving event goin on here, that's for sure... On a less flip note, Truth will not be forever disguised or able to be ignored. Truth is Truth, whether we choose to receive it or not... So what is it, huh?? Do tell... K xx

Sometimes dreams are messages from God
And reveal things we really don't want know or explore
but it's Gods way of sending you a message for your safety
Of fires or anything!
God always has a path for us to fallow
Excellent and very vivid picture and Imagery!!

Enjoyed this much...God's plan is not always our plan, very thought provoking indeed. I had a dream the other night I had to write about it, one of those that lingers on the mind..it was a bit different than any other I had dreamed. Great write my friend, what a dream!

If a poem is meant to ignite our imagination this is it for everyone has his own interpretation of it. Your dream, for me, is apocalytic in terms. Humanity canot not live an earthly paradise. God has other plans for us. Pity not everyone can see this. A Blessed Christmas to you and yours. Victor

An image-rich design of the yin and the yang, or would it more closely be Newton's Third Law? Perhaps reality lives in the sea of vapors and the holiday fare is just our way of pretending that all is goodness and light. Perhaps the negative is born in our own paranoia and all is truly good, beautiful, perfect and exactly as it is supposed to be. Excellent and provocative poem.
Take care,
Sherry
