Silence swarming with noise
Sounds blasting, like a war
Penetrating proof of the clamorous
Blare, blaze, flaming craze
Hues of doubt pouring out on the calm
Darkness sinking into the heart
Hushing the sigh, the breath, rhythmic
Beating of a song, like the tear
Sliding helplessly along the cheekbone

This is the silence, the dread
Grief that complements the death
One who has gone on to the eternal 
Without the hope that comes to those
Who know the love of a Savior…

Grace that brings peace in abundance
Promising of a hereafter who is perfect
Soaring with light, love, laughter… calm
That fills the spirit with joy – forever
Eternally silencing the doubt, the fear
The darkness that is so overpowering
For the heart who doesn’t feel His breath
Pouring out tenderness, warmth, hope
On the spirit who glows with His brilliance
Love that is pure, flawless, complete…

Breathe deeply the wonder of Jesus, the King!

Gina this is a favorite. Salvation is free and sadly many do not receive it. Your depiction of going to hell is real. That is why it is so important to witness to our brothers and sisters that are lost in the world. Thank you again Gina for your support and God bless you for sharing...
