Taken

“You unlock the door with the key of imagination

Beyond it another dimension

A dimension of sound

A dimension of sight

A dimension of mind

You’ve moved into

The land of  both

shadow and substance

Of things and ideas

You’ve just crossed over into “

 

 

Traveling to dimensions beyond the ordinary,.

where the rules of reality are altered.

1000 years for man is one day for God.

 

Comfortable in my bed I fall off to sleep

Somewhere between subconscious and the deep

A divine bright powerful presence emerged

 

A whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud and a fire in folding itself and a brightness about it and out of the mist as the color of Amber

of the midst of fire

 

Pinned to my bed, unable to move

It’s as if a new world open to me

Time dimension was moving faster now

But I didn’t know how

 

Also, out of the mist came the likeness of four living creatures and this was their appearance

They had the likeness of a man

 

And everyone had four faces,

And everyone had four wings.

And their feet were straight feet,

And the their soles of their feet

where the soles of a calfs foot;

and they sparkled like the color

of burnished brass

 

And they had the hands of a man

under their wings on their four sides;

and they four had their faces and their wings.

 

Their wings were joined one to another;

they turned not when they went.

They went every one straightforward.

 

As for the likeness of their faces, their four

had the face of a man,

and the face of a lion

on the right sides

and they four had the face

of an ox on the left side.

They four had the face of an eagle.

 

 

 

Thus were their faces

and their wings were stretched upward

two wings of everyone.

Were joined one to another

and two covered their bodies.

 

The likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire

and the appearance of lamps;.

It went up and down

among the living creatures,

and the fire was bright,

and out of the fire

went forth lightning

 

And the living creatures ran and returned

as the appearance of a flash of lightning

 

I saw the living creatures, one wheel upon the Earth by the living creatures with his four faces

 

 

The creatures were accompanied

by four large wheels,

set at a right angle of each other

with wheels within wheels.

The wheels are full of eyes

 

As for their rings,

they were so high that they were dreadful;

and their rings were full of

eyes round about them four

In as when the living creatures went,

the wheels went with them,

and when the living creatures

were lifted up from the Earth,

the wheels were lifted up

 

Traveling higher

My heart pounding

I wasn’t sure of my surroundings

 

And the likeness of the filament

upon the heads of the living creatures

was the color of a terrible crystal,

stretch forth

over their heads above

The filament above the creatures

is a vast crystal like expansion

 

And under the filament,

where their wings straight,

the one towards the other;

everyone has two

which covered on this side,

and everyone had two

which covered on that side their bodies.

 

And when they went,

I heard the noise of their wings,

like the noise of great Waters,

as the voice of the Almighty,

the voice of speech,

as the noise of an host;

when they stood,

they let down their wings.

 

And above the filament

was over, their heads,

was the likeness of a throne,

as the appearance of a sapphire stone;

and upon the likeness of the throne

was the likeness

as the appearance of a man

above, upon it

 

As the appearance of a bow

that is in the cloud

in the day of rain,

so was the appearance

of the brightness roundabout.

This was the appearance

of the likeness of

the glory of the Lord.

When I saw it,

I fell upon my face,

and I heard a voice.

One that spake

 

Instantaneously I awoke

Contemplating what words spoken

Was this a dream? Did it really happen?

People speak of aliens spaceships

Ghosts, hobgoblins

Angels Demons other realms

 

Do we take the time?

To Listen

To that Small Still Voice

 

 

Inspired Song

The twilight zone

By Romanian born

You unlock this door with the key of imagination

Beyond it is another dimension

A dimension of sound

A dimension of sight

A dimension of mind

you’ve moved into

a land of both

shadow and substance,

of things           and ideas

you’ve just.                    crossed over

Into the                               twilight zone

something to ponder

you cant believe only part of the Bible

you have to take all of it

or none of it.

This is a tough nut to crack.
