The Coming
This bitter earth enthralled within
empty spaces where haste grew;
over time compassion shattered
as the earth rumbles opening,
the red sky as ocean waves soon
become a hardened foundation;
splitting the ground into while
humans scatter to and fro the gravel,
stone covered the sea hills are leveled
from the beginning of the earth;
to the end the trees were weeping kneeling
leading to a single pathway alongside,
the river Jordan an invisible line to Jerusalem
the city began to rise as the pathway leads;
upward the holy spirit descends upon us
like a golden dove blinding thine eyes.
a sense of warmth comfort as every eye
is planted on his coming the beautiful;
coming he is no longer spirit the son of man,
shining standing before all of god's chosen one's,
he whisper's be not afraid for I am with you always
