Matthew 11:28-30

Stretched out on wing of weariness, The total collapse of the flesh. Arms and legs, limp and pitiless. The world’s escarpments hurt..enmesh. Come to me, says the one buried… Who rose from the grave. Likewise grim, With heaviness, her soul carried To the foot of the cross…to Him. The death bed’s a feather, so white. Her guardian angel plucked from her largesse…quintessence takes flight. To heavy hearted, He says Come. Decomposing in shallow grave, But not so the soul…it is brave.

Your faith shines through every line Kim. 'Come to me, put all your burdens at my feet"..... What a comforting invitation..... The thought that with death, our life doesnot end makes even the death bed a cozy place. Though the body rots after death, the soul lives on. Lovely poem. To my FAVE.

For sure, Christ awaits open arms, doorway ajar, we need only enter -- which requires some personal motivation. Love it!
