Oh, Death

Oh, death*, your reality can bring light Of divine beauty to those in the light. Though you’re considered as enigmatic Your spirituality glows with truth’s light. Your essence commenced by precious last breath Shows God’s authority over life’s light. Never can your sting paralyze blest faith That shines verity of eternal light. I can face you with peace-bliss against pain By the security of Christ, my Light. *1Corinthians 15:55-56 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. April 25, 2019 2nd place, "YOUR CHOICE (3),any form,any theme" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 6/7/2019.
