The Burial

Hair like woven air
Beauty beyond compare
Amazing grace melts my ears
Eyes drowning in tears

Soul in rapture, Joy i capture
Morning dew, something new
Blood cascades from every pew
Beads of sweat, a last breath

Gone for now, not forever
Until my celestial calling
I will keep brawling
Fighting for my belief
Praying for my day of relief

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
