Question: When you get these feelings, what do you do!?
Listen or Ignore!?

Foreboding apprehension hovers about
spilling tension both inside and out
I swat at it like bothersome fly
but won't go away nor tell me why!.

Dread these feelings, always come true,
sticking with me like fearsome glue
the waiting and waiting drives me so crazy
having this vision yet staying too hazy!.

Hands are tied so set spirit free
to loved ones who hapless target may be
to cover with His protective shroud
till the passing of this dreaded cloud!.

I close one eye when I see "you've got mail"
knowing soon your message will surely tell
confirming what I already knew
you felt a spirit help you get through!.

Yes, this gift is both a blessing and curse
the burden it carries makes days much worse
but 'tis an honor to be Divinely used
with His love our connection is firmly fused!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
To ignore
Tis' ignorant
Words warm yet warning
And when we see "you've got mail"
Cautiously concerned
Opening to what!?
Heed and know
What pain the seeer must carryWww@QuestionHome@Com

Foreboding dogs me too some days
But, I suspect it has a physical cause
Because it melts away (unfounded)
Or, perhaps, I've got a 'get-out' clause!?
I feel as if a cloud is hovering
Just above my head
No sunshine can penetrate this barrier
And the air feels heavy as lead!.
But
'You've got mail' or 'Kirstie's on the phone'
Normally, only brings good things
My feelings aren't premonitions
They're inexplicable mood swings!.

I patiently pray, incorporating my concerns and feelings with the name and image of the one in my vision!. I can't swat it away, but as a Zen Master once told me, "In meditation flies must be welcomed!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I simply call it one of life's trials or tests!. It cannot be ignored otherwise it may generate something one might not want to deal with later!. Never put off till tomorrow the things that can and need to be done today!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like your poem!. I could connect with it through the first two stanzas, and I like the advice given in the third!. I don't quite get the last two, tho!. I guess I don't have the gift!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am swatting away all the worries and apprehension MA!.!.!.
All is good in world now!.!.!.Completion is finally around that small corner ahead!.!.!.Then I will feel like belonging again!.

Even silly ole me can be sensible after all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hide and watch, for it will unfold in its own sweet time, and there is not one thing I can do aside from prayers and preparedness for the other foot to drop!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My premonitions are usually in dreams!. But did ever get the urge to call someone you hadn't seen in a while, because you knew they needed you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anxiety, "always come true!." If I am into some one else too much I
lose my self!. When I lose my self, I lose my serenity!.

Great poem about emotions!. Kudos

Wonderful poetry!
I think you're talking about things that God tells you about the future, usually about your family!. God tells me things, too, and some of them are good (like that my sister is going to have a baby!) and some not so good (I always know, with certainty, who will die next in our family!. I'm always right, and the next person up has broken my heart!. I wish I didn't know!.)
There is nothing to do except ask God why He has told you about these things!. Maybe you can be of help to the person or people who will be affected!. Maybe you can prepare them gently!. Pray for them!. Maybe, who knows, God will change the course of the future!. He certainly can, but I don't know if He will!. I think that is why we get these premonitions; we KNOW what will happen, so we can help, but change is not possible!.
You are actually in a good position!. Hardly anyone can see the future, and you can!. Use the gift that you have to brighten the lives of the people who may be affected, and do what you can to ease their burden!. Are there things you can do to make the pain less when these prophetic thoughts do come to pass!?
Thanks for sharing this!. It's nice to know that someone else carries this blessing/burden from God!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
