The Eye Within Poem by Flencirose Basera

The Eye Within



My window opens to reveal that which is shown
A message to pass on to avert danger to the one concerned
In the beginning I could not understand
It confused me
The pictures that flick in my eyes
I just close my eyes and wish it to go away
Like a television that automatically switches on
One that I can see
Of visions blurred and clear
Of messages to relate to the concerned
The beginning was like a dream
Why was dreaming of him all the time
Someone I just knew in society
Just one of the many that I have had
Then the dream recurred with strong words of caution
'He has had a crush at an intersection'
So what My thoughts trailed
I saw him struggling and herding home
No one was around to witness
Then the voice told me to tell him to get his head checked
I got up and knew my predicament
How do I cross the line of duty
If I do not tell the headaches begin

Headaches that blind me with pain
I make the call
I relate the message laughing cause I felt stupid
Expressing my shock at the dream
Deep down I knew I had to relate the message
I forget about it and got with business
Then I was summoned to report urgently
Trouble!
The excitement and exhilaration was unbelievable
Questions were thrown at as to the source
No one had seen him and he wanted answers
He had told no one about it
How had I known about his accident
He wanted to know the source of my information
Then I said I had had a dream and to warn him
I just conveyed a message
This was the beginning of a relationship
The dreams of warning from above
Of evading danger and destruction
That are channelled through me
The dreams have created a secret bond and good rapore
Many declare unworthy but one who has Divine protection
The eye looks out for him
