Walking with my best friend
Promised forever true to the end
We'd discuss psychic emanations
Politics, Life and Religion
As we were walking in field of wheat
I felt windy kiss upon my cheek
As I was fingering a leaf
Pondering my disbelief
Turn to my friend of longtime cheer
Finding that she wasn't there

Well...I think the following will explain this poem a bit more:

Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

Matthew 24:40-42 NIV

Wow ... I never would have gotten that if you hadn't explained it ... what a hauntingly "normal" way to explain the rapture ...

Nice work ... I am duly impressed.

Good grief I didn't get that either, glad you explained that one Ali.  I really enjoyed it even more on second read.

Wow...I had forgotten I had written this one.  This was a few months prior to Spiritual being created.

Well, I thought the title explained it quite aptly.

I much enjoyed this, but I think...um,with the perspective that you have today...

I would love to see what you would do with this, re-worked?

(banal, me arse, too )

I could see this written as a three parter actually, if you explored pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-tribulation theory of Rapture....hmmm?

(trying to tempt ya bro)

enjoyed
