Alone At the Throne

Shall I entertain you for a while? Make the thunder clap and hilltops smile. The brooks may babble along the way. Men will realize they are made of clay. I'm the creator of everything. Without my breath the birds wouldn't sing. Men now believe they created me. Laudie da thoughts what will be will be. They think that faith is just for the weak. For them it's wealth and pleasure they seek. All that is gathered has no real worth. I offer you freedom and rebirth. Patience will wane this World will crumble. Those who are proud will become humble. One day you will face me at my throne. Without my Son you will be alone. You may now think I do not exist. It's your mortal soul that is at risk. All around you I have placed the signs. You have a choice to be one of mine. I thought being it is Easter this piece would be appropriate for the timing of your contest. Blessings to you.

Very well said, Richard. We'll stand alone in the end ... and all we'll have is how we spent our time on earth

You are blessed, Rick! Your relationship with God is so deep and close, you can talk about Him this way; so simple, straight to the point and witful and humourous as always! Love your beautiful poems! Best wishes for all your projects; you are so successful! Hugs, Hanitra

No funny business here, the end is the real deal. Though I did enjoy your little jokes towards the beginning of the poem. We were created in God's image, with a will to laugh... so shouldn't it make sense that God has a sense of humor as well? I think the platypus was created simply to confuse the evolutionists, LOL! Good for you for opening your eyes and seeing the signs! There are too many all too comfortable in the shadows...
