God will conquer!

A dark cloud overshadows the land

eyes loose color and begin to search for something.....anything

lost hope

there's no going back

blood pours out as people cry and die after their attempts

at once all backs turn from God at the sight of this mess

their heads sink low at the smell of Satan winning

In the midst of the darkness

the sadness

a gentle hand reaches down and taps on their shoulders

encouragement

one by one they all arise to their feet

once again

attempt

a shimmering light peers in at the unsightly mess

to see it for what it really is

God deserves the worship of all these people

He will conquer!

the perfect groom

The Perfect Groom

her white gown gleams and sparkles

her eyes glitter

her heart races at the sound of the angles singing

the congregation rises at the opening of the doors

congratulating her on her new beginning

the groom awaits at the front

ring in hand

a ring of promise

a ring of truth

a sign of his purity and power

their hands join as she recites her vows

vows of commitment

vows of love

the groom then whispers into her ear

whispers of hope

whispers of joy

whispers of his unconditional love for her

the bride smiles and takes to heart her new start

she knows that

he will never leave her nor forsake her

he will love her and cherish her for eternity

their relationship will climb by mountains day by day

their love for one another will never fail

always and forever because

he is the perfect groom

you can't have me!

Boom! Boom!

Sounds of terror

sounds of horror

deafening noises seem to drag you their way

“come with us you won't be harmed”

their request turns to demand

“do what we say!”

they won't stop

every second you seem to be one step closer towards the

sounds of terror

sounds of horror

deafening noises seem to drag you their way

“thank you for joining us. Come. Let's have fun!”

soon enough

quicker than you think

you are making

sounds of terror

sounds of horror

deafening noises that drag innocent souls this way

you pull one more person in

you hair tattered

yourself torn

you think to yourself

what have I done?

The laughing and mocking begins as you walk the other direction

insults are thrown and flow just as the wind

what should I do?

What should I do?

Knock! Knock!

Loud and obnoxious

should I take it?

Should I open my door to let it in?

Should I embrace it?

Remembrance of your last mistake

you turn your head

No, I can't do it again

I will sit here

alone if I have to

I will walk the streets

I will look them in the eye and say

“You can't have me.”

is he the one?

Thump thump

my heart

beating and not knowing it

thump thump

the blood gathers in my head

there he is

as sweet as a lullaby

I can;t help but think

is he the one?

Should I extend my greeting

should I tell him my thoughts?

Confusion

he told me he enjoys my company

could that mean something?

Once again

confusion

but this time

an addition to the feeling enters

frustration

next he extends his greeting

should I take it?

Should I let him in?

Should I push him away and say “no thanks”

should I warmly greet him?

I think and ponder until one more question makes my decision

what does God want?

pitter-patter tear drops

Pitter patter

pitter patter

do you hear that?

Drip drop

drip drop

what causes such pester?

Slowly I lift my head as teardrops fall onto my cheeks

tears that have been shed that I have ignored

pain I have suffered but not taken one second to think

what has happened?

Why am I here?

Have I been abandoned or shaken?

Am I wounded?

I know for sure of one thing

it hurts

my eyes burn from the weeping

remembering my past

flashbacks consume

not letting me go

letting me know that I am nothing

I was left alone

flashes of lightening pass by me

grabbing my attention

shouting

screaming at me

who I am

they tell me

I am not forgotten

I am loved

by someone greater

by God

who knows all things

he wipes my tears and says

“You are my child I will love you forever more”
