God Walks Warmly Alongside Death Dedicated


Between the silence of a sterile room and a child of grace 
the sure footed arrival of a God without a face
The hourglass of time stills the stage with un-remission
as she waits by Snow Don Hills without contrition
A floodlight of compassion eases in she's not in pain
her soul is a lit lantern that's never smelt the rain
Wearing a tallit with knotted fringes on each corner
He's opens every angle like an Angel without borders
Dressed in a dignity gown and propped against a pillow
she dances with the bunnies beneath a weeping willow
God takes her little hand in His, its simple so precise
just like sunrise in the morning, straight from paradise.

Hello Rose, it's been too long since I've visited your poetry and so very glad to come by today. This is a poem of both sadness and celebration of what I assume is a life well-lived on the cusp of passing. Eloquent and insightful imagery. /// Kindest Kudos Rose

"A floodlight of compassion eases in she's not in pain her soul is a lit lantern that's never smelt the rain"- Lovely lines! As long as we have a compassionate God by our side, even on the death bed, we won't experience any pain. We all wait for the moment for God to hold our hand in our journey through death to eternity. Beautifully written couplets, dear Rose.
