Time Unwinding

As time stood still in the presence of the King Awaiting its order to commence The King’s voice echoed throughout the universe Silence ensued, loud and fierce! The four winds ceased their stirrings Planets froze in their stance Blades of grass stood to attention As time glided through its tubular channel And began its appointed task When a war raged in Heaven A battle only Almighty God could win The usurper was cast down towards earth Brought slow, insiduous contamination on an unimaginable scale and Time remained forever tampered with Now flowing backwards to begin anew From the moment of birth, death comes stalking Men lacking faith see wrong and call it right And pride and ego brand minds and hearts For the potent poison seeped through all Every creature incredibly made would be tainted For the author of sin now roams the earth And peace since that moment, always eludes Deception and illusions, endlessly, abound Hatred and wars plague the seven continents Families lie broken and the young despair As our world unraveling spins out of control Time will end when it arrives at its beginning When the King will make all things anew ~*~

With the mere bite of an apple, Eve led the way for sin to enter our world, Annalise. Such a compelling description of the universal motion (even the wind) stopping as the Lord allowed pain and hardship to enter the world. Indeed, all creatures have suffered ever since. This is more than imagination, it is a Biblical reflection that I find most compelling. Incredible writing! You rock, dear! Love, Carolyn

This poem reminded me a bit of John Milton's "Paradise Lost". However, your poem was much shorter. Thanks for making my poem one of your favorites.
