The Barricade
I had a
dream a few months ago, it startled me
(or was
it a dream?):
A
barricade was in front of me, of roaring flames.
I sat up
on my bed, fragments of flames rushed toward me.
I was as
if, taken away from gravity, as if this barricade had
Its own
gravity…
It was as
if the Carbon Atoms that bond, all that there is
Had lost
its balance, as if the protons and neutrons, lost their
Equilibrium—there
is really no way to express this:
I felt
like a dead star staring at this barricade, as if I was
Being
sucked into a black hole.
Dreams
are funny, I’ll grant you that, but it appeared to my
Wife, I
was wide awake, and I had told her,
“Something’s
going to take place in a moment?”
It was as
if I was going to be thrown into the halls of the cosmos.
I knew,
time stands still at the edge of the speed of light,
Whereas
sound seemingly needs matter, and is quite slow
In
comparison—
But this
barricade, with its charging spearmen of light,
Invading
my dark emptiness—of the bedroom, everything
For a moment
slowed down—so where did this light come
From? Had
I reached the end of the universe?
Or
perhaps it had reached me?
Being less
than a half million miles away, where
Light has
thus, been discovered?
Back
13.8-billion years?
I got
thinking, nothing can travel faster than light,
Hence,
lest you fall through a dozen black holes, which seem
To favor
each galaxy, and come out at the other end,
And
ending up here with this fiery barricade?
I mean
all these images were pumping into my great arteries,
Believing
a bean is bean, this was as real as it gets!
Well, if
indeed I was where I presupposed I was, time stands still!
That is
to say, I travel 6,500-light years?
Each
light-yea being: six-trillion miles?
You can
add that up, there’s too many zeros for me.
And then
I stood up from the bed, my wife now seriously
Worried:
is he having a zany dream, or what?
I
couldn’t resist the pull, as if struggling with gravity!
Pulling
me into that wall of fire.
Realizing
distant body’s effect one another, this barrier was
Not
effecting my wife, only me, yet she was close by
Witnessing
all this, which I suppose was nightmarish!
I felt I
was headed for some cosmic horizon:
I suppose
my wife was thinking, what a mirage?
Gravity
is an extraction, but should it be condensed, I’d be
Crushed!
And I knew for the most part, as the ancients
Knew, the
origin of the universe is concealed, that would
Account
for the barricade, as I tried to analyze this out!
That God
was not going to give the secret of how he
Created
the universe to astrophysics, until, perhaps until
They
acknowledge him: let them theorize all they wish!
There
best guess is that the universe was the size of a
Silver
dollar once upon a time, then it became a massive
Structure,
as it is now! Well, be that as it may,
Until it is
time to shed light on it, and light would be the only
Way of
seeing beyond that barricade… the first footsteps
Of the
universe remains a mystery.
Although God
has allowed one thing:
To see
the darkest footprints in the cosmos, in front of that—
Barricade,
one step at a time.
Anyhow
back to the pulling of the fiery wall!
“Lord” I
said, in disbelief this was taking place:
And an
amazing thing happened, just by calling on Him:
It was as
if there was a supernova, and everything around me
Exploded?
And my
wife now by my side, said “What just happened?”
And I
told her, what I’m telling you!
