Array ( [sid] => 49841 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Scroll in the Sky [time] => 2004-05-31 14:31:11 [hometext] => About a dream I had in 1985 [bodytext] => I looked outside my window in wonder to behold
a scroll that stretched across the sky.
wrapped in what seemed like velvet
made from what seemed like gold
All the people stared on mystified.

Newsmen came and took their pictures
Reporters came to town to spy.
Stores began to sell their souviniers
of the greatest wonder they've seen in their lives.

People came from around the globe
just so they might see
the scroll that stretched across the sky
Scientists stood in wonder
not wanting to believe
this sight has come before their eyes.

Historians tried hard to read the writing,
archeologists to get a glimpse inside
gossips began to spread some rumors
"The aliens are coming they did testify"

After a month no answers came
about the scroll stretched across the sky.
Not even planetologists could speculate
of what had boggled their minds.

One fateful morn all on its own
the scroll opened, it was terrible
darkness fell upon the world
all the people could do was tremble
the earth was torn in two asunder
in a thunderous shuddering break
exploding in a blinding light
no one escaped their fate.

I awoke from my dream with a frightened sigh
I walked over to my window
I drew the shade and I peeked out
my breath still heavy and labored
and what should I see up in the sky
hovering far over me
than the very same scroll that destroyed the world.
The same scroll that I had dreamed.

Up from my dream I hopped
nearly falling from my bed.
Not sure if I was still dreaming
I peaked out of the shade
The stars shone brightly in the night
just as they've always done
wearily I returned to sleep
my nightmare was finally done.

I've never had a more convincing dream
than the one I dreamed that night
when the world fell in calamity
by the scroll of power and might. [comments] => 7 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 14 [informant] => Archie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )
The Scroll in the Sky

Very vivid dream. You tell it so well.
I too had a dream about a scrool in the sky running backwards. It was written in Hebrew but it was there teaching me things I needed to know. Even tho I couldn't read it I knew that when the time came I'd understand.
The scroll was playing the Hebrew language like a t.v. it was constenly moving backwards-n-side ways.
Very good writing.
Luv, huggs,
emy

Ah, yes... 1985... the year I was born. Must've been the reason.
