Four VisionsA Poem by Jack CarverFour Visions I was in the Beginning In the vision And Jesus was not the light But was illumined By the light And there was much lightning And God made it lightning And I said to God, “You do not make it lightning You see the future You know when it will nightning And where the lightning Will be.” And he became Very angry with me And was about to destroy me When Jesus stepped in And offered some defense for me So that God did not destroy me Then there was in the darkness Something more Black than space Like a shining rock And I went and held the rock They said was the Word And it was very hot Then I went to a corral In the darkness And I opened the gait And a black horse Escaped and it was my fault And I went back to Jesus And someone cried, “The Devil’s horse Is loosed.” And I was much afraid And when I went back To Jesus and A pastel red Angel was there And he took me by the hand And brought me high And higher And I asked him Are you from God And he let go Of my hand And I fell And landed Soaking wet On my every part And my bed was wet Throughout And I was much Afrighted. It might have been A vision of an enemy But, “You believe it.” So in another vision I prayed O God how is a man to love you When he is scared to death of you? And Jesus descended In the darkness And nearly reached me But went back on high As a stick thrown into water That is not heavy enough To go all the way To the bottom And I awoke Much afraid for Jesus had not reached me. In my latest vision I talked with God And he became impatient With what I had said And he said, “Let the Devil have him.” But Jesus was there And came to my defense And God was appeased But I was worried For God had said. “Let the Devil have him.” But Jesus said to me, “Grab my hand.” So I did and he said, “Hold fast to me And I will bring you up For no one shall sntach you From my hand for I Am in the Father And nobody can snatch You out of my Father’s hand.” © 2021 Jack Carver |
