In the still of the night my mind has its way
Pondering thoughts from the trials of the day
I close my eyes thinking and I awake in a dream
Startled and baffled , as the moon had a gleam
Looking around at what I saw, realizing it to be nothing at all
As if all time had stopped and space had taken a fall
I knew this was something that was not in my control
I knew I was placed there from the maker of my soul
As strange as it seemed it was familiar to me
To be taken to places that others dont see
I knew I was waiting ,but I knew not what for
till the wind began to blow and time opened its door
I beheld an angel of beauty unseen
Her hair was like gold and her face like a dream
She staired at me and my whole being froze
She was stunningly beautiful from her head to her toes
Mesmerized by her beauty , I was unable to speak
I fell to my knees as my legs became weak
Without speaking a word , she had me in her spell
Thank God she was from heaven and not the pit of hell
I asked her why she had came and revealed herself to me
She still remained in silence and pointed to a tree
Without saying a word she dictated to me all that she thought
She was there to commend me for the battles I had fought
Then when she spoke her words made me tremble
“The tree that you see is a part of a symbol”
“Its branches reach out in all ways and directions”
“Yet each has a purpose , like a mirror has reflections”
“It dies for a season and seems useless and bare”
“Till the time comes to bloom and give life to the air”
“Each branch gives forth life as an extension of the tree”
“Each leaf that grows new has a purpose just like thee”
“You have died many seasons and live after each”
“As the changing of the chilling cold to the warm winds of the beach”
“So is life and the things we face, from our youth till old”
“Each time that you die inside , our lord restores your soul”
“The tree is you and its roots run deep”
“So continue to pray for your soul to keep”
“For Satan wishes to have your soul , wanting to sift you like wheat”
“Thats why we have come to you , to keep you on your feet”
“Just like the rain that feeds the tree”
“We feed your soul and give hope to thee”
“So stand your ground and ride out the storm”
“Your children are branches you have shaped and formed”
“The word is the soil that holds firm with sod”
“We are the keepers of the trees of God”
“Tell others to plant their roots good and deep”
“Tell others like you that their souls we will keep”
She then touched my hand and was gone from my sight
I found myself standing in my room late at night.
THE ANGEL OF HOPE
Reflections of thoughts from my times of dreaming. I felt a need to reflect this to others that may be struggling with the set backs of living in this world in our times
