I Flew Across The Deserts Of The Sky Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

I Flew Across The Deserts Of The Sky

Rating: 5.0


Jean Paul, a contemporary of Goethe, had a dream.

He writes about his dream:
I walked through the worlds.
I climbed into the sun
and flew on the Milky Way
across the deserts of the sky;
but there was no God.

I climbed down,
to look into the abyss
and shouted: Father, where are you?

But I heard only the eternal storm
that no one ruled,
and saw the shimmering rainbow
without a sun that creates a rainbow
over the abyss and dripped down.

And when I looked up
to the immeasurable world
for the divine eye,
she stared at me
with a blank bottomless eye socket;
and eternity was in chaos.

And he was glad when he woke up:
'My soul wept for joy' he writes,
THAT HE COULD WORSHIP GOD AGAIN
and the joy and the crying
in faith was prayer.'

Jean Paul, a contemporary of Goethe, has dreamed and noted it down in 1797 in eloquently words.

Tony, in my darkest moments, I feel God's presence. And your poem really hit home for me. A real eye opener! And as always, so eloquent.

God is omniscient and omnipresent.All he was searching was within Him and around him, the experiences he Encountered are all about God the knowledge He accumulated is God.But we as humans We want to see to believe.We can only see God through Prayer.His fate was faith!
