Anthony Nutter Poet Rhyme

Sands of Time

Sands of Time
A. W. Nutter

Viewing the world through opaque glass
Sands of time getting low in the hourglass
Friendships and treasures acquired in vain
Blinded to the truth in this worldly domain 

Spiritual essence of creation is withering
Traveling toward a preordained ending
Wolf in sheep clothing ascends into power
The souls of creation found easy to devour

The sons of Adam and daughters of Eve
Heritage forgotten to the Beast they cleave
Lightning pierces the sky, Christ is revealed
Prophesy completed, mans fate is sealed

Noel Villarosa February 6, 2010 at 9:02 PM A very powerful message you have here, Anthony. Mankind is unmindful that for every steps he/she stumbled is a walk with God with disgrace to a wrong path that only us could change. Nice sharing this and my heartfelt thanks also for taking time to read my poem - Dream of Sailing. (^_^) Noel Villarosa.

Carolyn Devonshire January 31, 2010 at 9:40 AM Quite a profound sttement in this poem, Anthony. Can't help but think you might have been referring to the 2012 prophecies about the coming of Judgment Day. Nostradamus's predictions, I have heard, are more like warnings and I hope we have a chance to reverse our current course so that our fate can be changed. Compelling write, Anthony! Love, Carolyn
