Chapter 30 - Life Draws To A Close

Tell me, O eyes, gentle of yours;

How does fear stroke your heart?

Tell me, O heart, brave of yours;

How does it saturate your soul?

Tell me, O life, fragile of yours;

Are you redeemed, or lost forever?

Lightning bursts in the sky like veins;

A deafening thunder, and life drains.

You burn, your bark explodes and splits;

You bleed, drowning in sleep as I dig pits.

A tide of terror and agony consumes me;

As they snicker at the apocalypse of a tree.

Stay awhile, even as life draws you to a close;

Pray tell, is your road towards Him Who rose?

You only smile, and oh! I dread your silence;

Do you blame me for their acts of defiance?

You brush my cheeks like a salty sea-breeze;

And I fall away, as leaves swirling over seas.

Yet I'm loved, for His mighty arms catch me;

Called in the song of His voice, now I truly see.

So I obey, His tear drops are the ink for me;

Praying for you, who remains an alive Tree.

Unknown to us is when the pages end;

Live wisely for after life, none can amend.

Hearts cease to beat, but abides the souls;

Here's a path through sea, one over coals.

I write to you, reminding that the now is ours;

Forever begins after the valley ends in hours.

I shall be with my Father in the flowering-fields;

Embracing the light after the suffering He heals.

Or I shall suffer burns in the endless ocean of fire;

Without my Father, my spirit fading away in dire.
