On God's Time

In the late midnight hour, when death comes to call,
and we are at a loss as to how we could resist, we 
therefore must answer its summons, leaving this world 
and all our loves.  We then shift from earth's time, to 
God's time, which is infallibly accurate.

holy pallbearer
keeper of dreams my sweet Lord
final ecstasy

Awesome, Evelyn. You do justice to the powerful poetry form. Superbly penned. A FAVE for me.

Deeply meaningful, my friend. Acceptance of God's time IS the answer --- no other recourse. Blessings, Gershon

God's time is really the only time. Thank you so much, Gershon. :)
