OMEN

OMEN When something happensExtra ordinary in most casesYou hear people say the clichéI saw the sign, I knew it was coming The crow we heard close byThe loss in the family at noonA portent call from the spirit worldAnd so we call the guiltless bird evil This entrenched belief of our peopleThe children chased the birds awayGo to where there are many spoonsThey shout, so another death is averted The warning objects differ amongst peopleThe black cat, a spider hanging downEyelid tickling or a snake on the pathwayPremonition has a creepy way with man Forecasts need not be bad or illFor some carry messages of hopeLike the star to the three wise menWhen a son was born to save the world

TREX! when the hell did you become a christian?

I always thought your words and ideas expressed greater things. Cheers, Jess, Reprehensibly irrepressible, "the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind." [Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged]

Not really religious...

but I must give it to the one man that has so much affected the world. I was looking for signs that give us the clues when something is going to happen, like the bird, the itching palm, the dream and Christ Jesus as we are told in the Bible. My disposition is towards the spiritual rather than the religious. Thank you for the comments and best wishes. T.
