The spirit world awakens
and brings a message
of love and wondrous things to come.
"Stay alert," a voice calls,
"for the one you're awaiting
is already there."
An excited chill runs through me,
then a sigh of relief escapes
as I hear these words and know
that it's true.
The seals have been opened.
The cups have been emptied.
The trumpets have made heard
their resounding songs.
"Where is he?" someone asks
of the voice that belongs
to a being, unseen.
Then the clouds roll up
and evening stars appear
to share the midday sky with the sun.
A man approaches,
but from where he came I cannot say.
He seems to have appeared from thin air.
"Is that you, Lord?" someone asks the man,
who smiles and holds up a bleeding hand.
"It is," the man says
as He opens His arms.
"Be settled. I've always been here."
