Belief

Far away when the smiling day tiredly smiles
The evening bride spreads her dress for miles
My thoughts their twilight keep
When tiny lamps awake half asleep
Your image when suddenly appears and stops
Like a deer grazing on dewy wet crop
Then this heart flutters alone
As the river runs on stones
Lusts for love’s glory
Shouts loud the sad story
Morning and night falls the tears
They are watered with horrid fears
But He moves in amazing ways
When end is near and no ray
He’ll shower his blessings on the head
Love will gather and diminish dread

A powerful statement of faith, Tahera. I do think God does all He can to make the transition between life and death as easy as possible for us. The rhyme is well done and the images of the bride, deer, lamps and river are beautifully conveyed. Love, Carolyn
