The Calm Before the Storm

There is a silence in the air like the calm before the storm
or that moment in battle when each side is facing off and the slightest sound
will invoke war
you do not even what to breath because you know the next movement will bring destruction and the last breath of peace will be taken away

It seems like only yesterday when things were much different
people went about their lives planning for tomorrows that would never come
oblivious to what the future would hold . not knowing that their very days were numbered

yet from the darkness it came . no one even saw it at fist .
and if they did they just thought it was a passing trend
something like so many other times came and went .
never understanding that all they had known was about to change forever

Oh there were some that saw it but like the street preacher wearing the sign that said the end is near that no one ever believed .
They would just shake their heads and laughed to themselves of the crazy man talking of a world of doom

but now it is here . we are standing on the edge of the abyss most not knowing how we even got here and others refusing to see what is staring them right in the face

There is no going back now, we have moved past the point of no return and the writing is on the wall

But again all was foretold many years ago in a book that many ether did not fully believe or they never thought they would see come to pass in their lifetime

The only question now is not if or even when but where
The lines have been drawn the stage is set the army's are gathered
but where do you stand ? with the world or with the Lord
