I think you're becoming positively prosthetic Dean, I happen to agree with you regarding these things, our church is definitely dancing to the tune of anticipation! Mind you, like me you're merely observing, and these are indeed prophetic signs, exciting times. You and I have a job to do! Wonderfully written in bold,descriptive, and biblically strong, articulate language! Blessings Roy.

It seems those consecutive blood moons made many worry.

For a time, I was worried. But then I remembered something.

The road we are on can separate from the masses so we aren't a part of the flame that consumes.

We might get burned a little, but it's up to us to determine what takes us down as people and as individuals.

Bruce Lee also said, and I paraphrase, "Be not where trouble is"

When we do what we do for the love of it and love one another in the process, we have truly lost nothing when war or its likeness is upon us.

Great poem!

Face the bloody orb
Foretells fate of humankind
fertile valley fills

The lightning searches
finds the void in people's soul
Delivers a spark

Revelation warned
of destruction long ago
we ignore and jeer

Is there a scientific explanation for this vision, Dean?

I'm usually not a fan of spiritualist poetry, but this isn't too preachy, as many are, and it has a special drama and unique excitement about it - as always aided by your brilliant presentation and spooky devil music.

Excellent!

Best wishes, Ted.

I enjoyed this piece, Dean, except I do feel it purports the idea of "the great flood"(see climate change) and the "red moon of death"(see reflections of light in space) as the whims of a "supreme being"(or an allegorical representation of the procession of the equinoxes, but hey, that's neither here nor there). You're a smart guy, Dean, so I'm sure you already know everything I'm saying here, which is why I kept it succint. I like the structure of the piece, the flow of the words and I always love your use of music and aesthetic to amplify the feel of the poem. Great work as usual, thanks for sharing.

I am a fan of this style of poetry, Dean. The words set against such an incredible backdrop is amazing. The pace of reading is set by your rhyming scheme. The sentiment expressed either sends a shiver of fear or a sigh of relief. Wonderful work, Dean...Stephanie

    Thanks, Stephanie, I really appreciate the review. I'm glad you like this type of fromatting, too. It's been a while since I've done one.

    You're very welcome. The music doesn't come across very well on this little laptop, so I will have to put on some auxiliary speakers. Take care Dean.

This is a very exciting poem from the author. The Bible text is scary indeed. I have read the Bible several times and it is obvious to me that this has to be some kind of meteorite hitting the earth and threatening the whole of humankind's existence. I don't rule out a nuclear holocaust, but even that wouldn't move every mountain and island from its place. Very scary stuff indeed.

this is very well written, dean, you did an excellent job writing this poem about the end times that loom before us, though we know not the day or the hour. did you mean "your meaning instead of you're meaning?" in the first stanza?

Hey Dean,
You ain't just whistling Dixie, my friend. I feel times of change ahead also, and the prudent will take the necessary steps to improve their situation. Really, ominous music, sets a great tone for the piece with it's somber message. Nice job with this call to arms....later, Bill
