When Life Seems To End

Satan's hand greets me
his work highly overwhelming
I clutch needed support
as my eyes disbelieve.

What is he trying to prove
that God will not save?
These broken lives
won't rest in war.

Bodies frown sadly
I lightly touch their skin
hoping that they might
sense condolence near.

Ashes of death dance
in a twisted manner
yet before I give up
I gasp before me.

For years the sun
has hid away fearfully
enticing sorrows
to come take over.

Here I stand
staring straight ahead
as sunshine pours
like an angel's smile.

I throw my arms
to reach its rays
letting out a shout
of joyful jubilee.

The Lord himself
appears in the center
of the flaming core
alive with brilliance.

He walks past destruction
the embers behind
igniting upon fire
they form spirits.

The world's Savior
approaches me softly
asking to join Him
in a feast unforgettable.

I let out a happy cry
running with open arms
resurrected souls embrace
I lose myself in love.

We make our way toward
the gateway of Heaven
erasing hurtful hatred
replacing it with peace.
