The Departure

Murkier the world goes every day, 
Dark clouds cloaking every Sun Ray, 
Wetting the grounds with blood and tears, 
Thunders follow, of pain and fears.

Voyage towards a better place, 
Looking for a trace of solace, 
Poor souls resign the worldly greed, 
From anguish and grief, to be freed. 

Someone rejoiced these demises,
For the vessels held some prizes, 
Worth much more than the souls inside, 
Won only when the angels died.

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.
