Sonnet of Godly Love Blessings In Vain
Death is dead
Once more
Where they stole the boots off the leftovers
before they buried them after war
So as to keep the noise of trampling
dead feet down
Waste not want not they don't need them
anymore where they are going or will
eventually end up stuck
Said the Crow to the raindrop
Splitting hairs on the reapers scythe
So stop and take one final last look at
The Sun the Stars and our Moon
Falling from the ailing sky horizon afterglow
As they fade ever gray into shadowed black
And take the chance to tell that certain
someone and utter the word love
To they who taught you what it actually meant
and true definition felt without fear of rejection
or being corrected
Before feeling the menacing presence of
the reaper at your back
Crying underneath his chilling breath
As back and back we further regress
To whence from that we came
As finally with eyes wide open
All forms of light and life
Are slowly taken stolen extinguished forever
And dissipate like celestial graveyards
One after one
Until there are
None
At all left
But
The
One and only
Real true God remains
To sift through the embers
Of his greatest love lost failed creation
We ourselves destroyed in vanities namesake
For no other reason apart from to show and prove
We could and can
So we did
