With My Last Breath

Sentenced to life — will it be light or dim? Always and forever will you follow Him? Lavished love was spent in blood, on the cross, Vindicating the lost, draining the dross. Afterlife’s never been too far away! Therefore, dear children, look to heaven’s peak. Insolence won’t gift you the prize that you seek. Onward march on your quest, knocking down doors Never sought before, until salvation is yours. If chains can be unlocked, why not today? Buckle your knees while there’s still time to pray. 6/20/2018 Barden’s My Muse, Mortal Contest

This was my first read, and it struck deeply, Kim, (as your works always do) ... exquisite phrasing and word use, sublime imagery and rhythm, all woven together with wit and edgy excellence, and done so with an unfailing faith in The Lord. He has blessed you with an extraordinary talent to honor Him, and you do so to perfection! Congratulations on your THIRD PLACE in the 'My Muse, Mortal' Poetry Contest - blessings, my friend! :-) <3
