Past-Life Nightmare

Details

A child of four suffers recurring dreams,disturbing parents and siblings with screams.When she awoke, always sore in one knee;next to a birthmark, it throbbed painfully.

Night after night she feared going to bed.What caused these nightmares that raged in her head?Even when grown, the torment persisted,

so a therapists aid she enlisted.

Hypnosis, said he, might offer some clues.Why not try it? Youve just bad dreams to lose.Once under, he guided her to a room --here peoples lifetimes in books were entombed.

Find one that is yours, her counselor said.

Quickly she did, but before it was read,she felt an ache, saw just a faint title.The words, she thought, said Alister Bridle.

The hypnotic trance now suddenly broke;puzzling questions Mr. Bridle evoked.For many years she thought that was her name;perhaps a past life had been filled with pain.

Who was this man? She simply had to know!Seasons passed, summer suns made way for snow.In Florida now, 1998,she thought all the nightmares she had escaped.

But strange dreams always catch us by surprise --when the lights grow dim, our minds fantasize.Cloaked in velvet, she left her parents farm,stealing away on a late autumn morn.

To meet her love, she climbed on the carriage,knowing her folks would forbid their marriage.Warm-hued leaves carpeted the hillside road,and her pulse beat fast; shed soon join her beau.

She thought only of him; joy cast its smile,but thats when he called, Alice, the bridle!

The leather band broke and wrapped round her knee.To the ground she was pulled; her horse ran free.

She met death, but past-life dreams recycle,and shed never been Alister Bridle.

*Based on real events I experienced.

Lord please clarify that day I fell down to my knees and acceptedJesus as my savior?Every day since, I felt as if you stood away and walked on by,allowing me to face my own failures. Was my life a waste in this

impossible world?"

Gods voice~My child, this is the everlasting light you will feel every time yourbody is re-born onto a new road. This light never left you.My sweet child did you not listen, Matthew *19:26* MY SONlooked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but withME all things are possible. My child you were not searching for

the right answers.

My voice=My Lord everyone told me if I prayed you would come. Did I notpray right?

Gods voice~My child sometimes your heart asked for more than life itself,

which left questions for someone else.At times how could I answer when you shunned heaven awayfrom your eyes?The obvious question is whether this is the final immersing of yoursouls disguise.

My voice=Lord, I have other questions to ask.What should I expect out of my personal sins? My testimonial sitsin the palm of your hand.My mind and my hearts inner core were wicked since myadolescence days.How is it that I am in your promise land?

Gods voice~Getting right with me is brought you here!

My voice=

One more question My Heavenly Father.Can I see her? I meant, could I see them? My Daughter MyMother and My Sisters~

This scar of mine

Details

There is a scarOn my faceSmall, steadfastly placed

One only notices if they are this closeTo kissing my soul

On my cheekBelow the eyes and sideways

Beside the bubble-gum sweetMouth, vivacious story tellerlike an upside down

sharp angled half moonThe endless emotions of my sky

So attractively roughIt attacks the delicate features of my face

Allowing my streetwise beautifulPersonalityTo shine through, I dont hide thetruth

Its as plain as the scar on my faceLife isnt ugly, you make it that waySome days I wish it wasnt thereBut I alwaysAppreciate its presenceI wont ever forget

When I receivedThe blow to my vanity

From a fight over youthful yearningsInside this

Is my learning processes

Scars hold historyI shall carry with me

Through tough timesSoft and easy, peaceful

To remind meOf me

skipping over memories the fear of bouncing out or fall| || 6 || || |

For skills can't recognize patterns of a different reality| | || 4 | 5 || | || | |

to discover the unforeseeable form of sin in sameness| || 3 || || |

Lost luck in time of empty places| || 2 || || |

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you canremoveall traces of reality.
