W.A. Cholt Poet Free verse

He's Dead and Gone

He's dead and gone 
In vain I look for comfort 
Despondent, walking along the beach 
The waves sweeping onto the pebbled shore 
The drifting shale 
The sands of time 
The mortal affliction of life and death 
Cruel fate has struck its final blow, 
He's dead and gone 
In vain I look for comfort.

Panagiota Romios October 23, 2019 at 8:11 AM We are left he feeling bereft. Alone. If he was a good Christian, he took hhis last breath...and met Jesus, then and there. I can't think of a thing ok earth I want to cling to over being with Christ. Be joyful for him!
