Down by the hot riverside
there came the glory of the lord
a whirling and thundering
and a pillar of dust
and the firnament came to a stop
and the windows revolved a lot
and the door opened
"do not be afraid for this is the house of the Lord
and he wishes to see you"
came the voice of one or the men in Linen
and i felt urged to oblige and was compelled
the master of the universe wishes to see me
and i walked up the noisy door
and it was a solid floor
and entered the darkness in front of me
"Yeah though i walk"
and my mind started to talk
such was the fear in me
into the light and heat of glowing different coloured pulsating coals
and a great white man on a seat i could see
"Fear not for ye are chosen to be taken to my heaven"
and the house got hot and vibrated a lot
and soon i was looking at a great dark tapestry
of dark and big and huge stars
and streaming lights
and i was there
this Huge expanse of white beautiful houses with colours of the rainbow
and a multitude of sticked white pure light
that gyrated and moved with the sound
of beautiful harps
but strange harps were these
and i felt the warmth of a strange smile and hug combined
and a strange warmth in me
and time here had no meaning
for it was an earthly thing
and in Heaven no bells do ring
no angels do sing
but there was this breathing rythm and was profound
the grass was very green
and very clean
the very place was worn like a gossamer fabric of pure light
soon it was time to go
the men in Linen said so
and the door opened again
and i seen the tapestry of the night
and stumbled an earth road to come home
my family were dead
and had evolved instead
and the buildings had grown
and the Lord's bird had flown
and i wandered to the right
and was filled with fright
a two eyed monster roared and thumped me
a terrible screech and my body was free
and i floated from me like the streamers around the mansions of light
that one night in the desert light
Love..............Georges

I am a right bad ass, dankish prince and I love my Violet to bits.
