~ Mark Of The Beast ~ (A Dark Dream)
From the ashes of night, blanketing me
A glint, a glimpse, of despotism
I become so shaken by what I've seen
I dare not interpret the vision
The fall of the church appears in the dream
The rise of the bloody hand, comforting
This confusion inherent in vague imagery
Warms me where the sun cannot be seen
Voice of a lamb, strength of a dragon
Somehow faith leads to the slaughter
Liquid Love, in a promise from a flagon
Has drowned all hope in its unholy waters
Drunken and laying broken on the streets
All of my friends have found Gnosticism
Blood on the faces of all their beliefs
Seems a Dali version of surrealism
I struggle and sweat, I swing my broadsword
Cutting down savages as I head for the trees
I sense a ray of hope that I'm fighting toward
A sudden burst, light, I awaken from the dream
And there, emblazoned, upon my hand
The bloody ~ Mark Of The Beast....

I Have encountered the devil on my journey, he took hold of my mind and drove me insane. I was rescuing souls, lost in time, he saw my light and new my strength, he sent his dirty Angels to do his bidding, targeting my soul for his own.
I had to hide, to cover my light. It still remains under cloak until I'm ready to fight. I can't pray, I can't call on Micheal.
Not yet. Soon though.
I'm fearful of this dream Tony but fear I cannot reside in.Β Β
Send me some love, send me some light.
Holy Crap!! Sir McGowan!!......I can tell that this encounter that you've had remains profoundly powerful in your mind!!....as it should.....When experiencing and touching the darkness inΒ energyΒ it leaves serious holes and marks in the psyche and most often only happens to those who have the ability to handle its ramifications!!....because the very nature of it requires believe/faith that it is, in actuality, a truth and not something that is 'made up' or imagined!!.......Wearing the cloak until you find the time is right and that you are indeed prepared for another encounter because you haveΒ recharged through meditation etc. ~ is precisely when that energy backs off ~ being aware that your faith is too strong!!.......Thanx so much for sharing this......sending lots of Love & Light your way kind Sir!!......FAITH is the mightiest of weapons!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!........T xo ?β΄β€
Cut off your hands ...will solve everything

My Dear Tony,
In a dream I had a vision
Of beasts besieging me
I slayed them with my broadsword
Then hid among the trees
.
With a burst of light I wakened
My knees gave when I tried to stand
For three sixes had been branded
Upon my quivering hand
Love you,
Larry xxx
Sometimes our dreams make for excellent poetic fare, Tony.
Like this, for example.
Dreams--nightmares--call them what you will, a few bards have garnered some of their best material from dreams.
Outstanding, my fiend....errrr, heh-heh...I meant friend, of course
