The midnight messenger and the vessels of God.

stare at a screen long enough and this is what you see.

In the dark behind the door at five minutes past asleep waits the only ones who can tell you all your answers and direct to your destiny unheeded.
They always seem to arrive that little bit too late and always leave ever so disappointed.
Their only wish to share with you what is rightfully yours.

Last night I met one when I dreamt I was drowning and in his joy of meeting me told me a very big secret.

The vessels of God lay in cots in tight bundles
Dribbling and walking with heads on an angle.
They speak without making eye contact and laugh for no reason
They have very large heads and move around chairs with baskets
That they control with their forehead fixed with pencils.
They once were hidden in dark rooms and large institutions
But the vessels of God have been released for a purpose.
And as their numbers increase on the streets and the shopping malls
Take comfort in the fact that they are there.
Because if they disappear we are doomed.
For they are tellers of truths and directions to our survival.
Treat them with disrespect at your own risk, ignore them as invisible at your own peril.
They are here for a reason and not for the grace of God for you to go by.

I awoke and the little man was gone and I have a story to spread.

    I love the way this reads. I’m usually not so great with picking up on the cryptic clues but I’m pretty sure I’ve got this one figured out. Very poetic … :)
