Mysterious ways of life
The eerie tune of nature
Dancing flames with a mischievous grin
A lonesome silhouette in the desert,
Seeking shelter from the harsh weather,
Came across an unusual sight
Two doves on an olive branch
Symbols of peace and love
And as it spread hope
To our melancholy wanderer
The sun went down and darkness crept in.
A night so dark, so silent & treacherous
Distant cries of a restless flock
No one to comfort, no one to guide
All was consumed by the dull sky
And the stench of fear hung in the air
Enveloped by darkness and strange sounds,
The lonesome silhouette fell to its knees
With a silent prayer to the God above.
Then suddenly, the earth shook
With all its might
And the sky began to pour down.
The floor around the wanderer
Gave way for something beneath
And the music from a qin
Echoed through the night.
Creatures of unknown origins and size
Could be felt all around
Crawling, slithering and creeping about.
This was a night, never to be forgotten
An event to be read and feared in future
The lonesome person on this deserted land
Could take no more and lost all faith
As he felt the beast moving toward him
Inhaling deeply
The wanderer collapsed
And all was silent and still
No sound was heard
But the beast still moved on the earth
Spreading fear and doubt all through
And suddenly- a flash!
A flash of lightening,
Followed by the sound of a trumpet
‘Behold he comes!
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun’
The beast hid from the light
But its radiance was so intense
That it was seven times’ the sun
And before its glamour
All that was evil blew into smithereens
And from the light walked a man
- The Savior
He knelt beside our dear wanderer,
Restored his soul
And all was well.
