Revelation


I raised my eyes to the heavens and prayed for a revelation. I gazed at the bright stars in the sky shining like radiant diamonds. I looked to the moon a beakon of hope and a gem. I starred at the black night sky dark as pitch. Around me was a barren wasteland. No life. No meaning. No purpose. I closed my eyes and prayed for a revelation. All of a sudden I felt my feet leave the ground. My heart was on fire and my mind was opened. When I opened my eyes I heard the wind blow and a soft calm breeze rush over me like a crystal river running over hard stones. I saw green lush grass dancing in the breeze. I saw tall trees whose branches bent with the weight of ripe fruit. I saw flowers spinning and waving like priceless jewels. In front of me I saw topless mountains covered in snow. Behind me I gazed across vast seas filled with colorful creatures. I ran and laughed. I climbed the mountians. I swam in the sea. I ate the fruit and rolled in the grass. I thanked God for sending me a revelation. I layed down and soon fell fast asleep. In my dream I saw utter darkness and I trembled with fear. I felt the earth shake and the heavens quake. I could feel my hearts melt inside my chest and could feel the tears stream down my face. Then in a instance there was a flash of white light and I was blinded and mezmorized. When I regained my sight I saw a holy figure standing over me and fell down and shuttered with fear. He touched me and said, "Have no fear for I come to bring you a revelation." He looked at me and spoke thus," I gave you hands and you do not use them. I gave you eyes and you do not see. I gave you a mouth and tongue and yet you do not speak truth. I gave you ears and you will not listen. I gave you a mind and you will not think. I gave you a heart and soul and yet you feel nothing. I gave you feet and you refuse to go. I gave you life and you will not live. LIVE LIFE child as I have called and commanded you to and all will be right in the world!" After this I was struck with an iron rod and layed unconscience for a long time. I do not know and cannot recount if I dreamed or witnessed anything, but I can say for certain I woke up alive, changed, and free. When I arose all the beauty that surrounded me vanished like a whisp of cloud. I again was swallowed up and consumed by darkness black as tar. I closed my eyes and raised my hands and prayed for a revelation. I opened my eyes and I saw a miraculous sight. Hundreds of thousands of people cirled around me. I knew each and everyone of them. Then the sky split from east to west and I saw that same strange figure high and lifted up. I asked, "Who are these people?" He answered me and said, "These are the lives that you tocuhed, that you heard, that you saw, that you felt, that you loved, that you believed in, that you went and helped, that you witnessed to. These are the lives that you impacted and changed. You touched each and everyone in a unique way. You lived life as I called you to." Then as if like a vague though or memory the sky closed and all was restored to normal. I fell down on my face and wept. I thanked God for my hands, for my ears, for my mouth, for my feet, for eyes, for my heart, for my mind, for my soul, for my breath, and for my life. I praised and thanked God for the revelation he had sent to me. I raised my eyes to the heavens and prayed, "Lord send them a revelation!"
