Gleaming Light
Slipping away fast,
no matter the time
His gleaming light,
guides many lost souls.
God’s grace seems to
welcome us home.

Hello, Kevin, I like your words which remind us that inevitably we shall all pass onto the next world. We all have choices and the biggest and most important choice is to receive and welcome His grace.............. I love the brevity and strength of your poem, too, which, to me is fantastic and powerful and would surely have been reduced had it been much longer. Very creative! Sheri
ReplyDeleteKevin, this short intense poem certainly speaks to my soul. I find it apropos for both sides of the veil. Matt. 7:7-8, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that aseeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Through His grace we have access to home (peace) any time. Thank you for a well thought out poem. I really liked it. keep sharing.
