Darker Than the Cavern, No Relief

Darker than the Cavern, No Relief Darker than the Cavern opening gate into Hell, the lost Souls, dead nights with such unimaginable delights. They seek mercy where none can be had an ending never found, lost forever deep underground. No Altar to burn incense a dark pit into agony lie, caverns , dark and deep to cry. Moans that wail in pleas unfulfilled, repentance was never willed. Dark city Hades in action forever gifting torment, upon those lost in banishment. No sleep just louder cries hideous sorrowful wails where forgiveness forever fails. Robert J. Lindley, 09-27-2014 Note: I woke this morning from a dream of the underworld. David's passing was on my mind last night and this dream shouted out a warning to me. Too late, too late is a terrible place to be...

Thanks to ALL for the comments.. A poem written about a dream is all. I have no doubts about Salvation, God's word and the Judgment all mankind shall someday face....

OH my....Robert. This is a very dark piece. Yes...now is the time to make things right. I know you are a man of faith. I don't believe in an eternal hell. Hell is a purifier. Those who have chosen to separate themselves from the LIFEGIVER....will burn in the fire that cleanses the earth. God, even in this act, shows His love. Once the fuel is finished, so is the fire. It doesn't go on forever and ever. The Bible refers to cities whose fire went on forever and ever, but that isn't the case.

It is symbolic...meaning the result of the fire...is lasting. Those who choose to be away from God, will experience eternal separation from them....FOREVER. Oh...I'm waxing eloquent. I'm sorry. It's just this piece is so sad, and I'm used to reading your happy writes. I'm sorry you've experience the death of a loved one, Dave. Hang on to hope! :)
