Epiphany of Doom

She was falling into the black hole

Slowly at first, then fast

Arms as black as coal

They were cold and sharp

Pierced her with all the hate they could muster

They had never seen the light of day

All life they wanted to shatter

She was losing this endless game

Her soul was leaving her body

She could see the devil dawn

Its red eyes glaring at her

She was nothing but a mere pawn

Her  body touched the brim of forgetfulness

And she drew in a startled breath

Her legs twitched like she had woken up from an illness

And she found herself in her bed!

Sweat lined her brows

She heaved a sigh of relief

But what she didn’t see was

Her lifeless body on the sheet

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
