Now Through Death Give Birth

Black vines, slowly growing
Slowing wrapping ‘round
Somber glowing, smoothly flowing
Fastening to the ground
Growing higher, always higher
But moving without sound
Pressing softly on still body
Through the softened ground
Slowly passing now, still body
Sinking through the dirt
Quite Earth will swallow
Gone tomorrow,

Now through Death give Birth

Slowly floating, stars abound
Winding through the fog
Stripped of clothes and all your woes
And now no ground below
Drifting upward, always upward
Away from the Earthly realm
Now far beyond to Creator’s dawn
Feet slowly find solid ground
Gravity restores again, take control
Walking now above soaring clouds
On hanging slice of earth
Traveled now from Earth and ground

Now through Death give Birth

A simple sonnet kisses ears
And Honey licks at lips
The world glows but with no sun
A light that shines within
Moving forward, always forward
Further to the gates
Stretching high into the sky
For the sinless it separates
Throngs of bodies stand in line
Waiting for their judge
Murders, liars, whores, and thefts
None with sinless birth
Traveled here from man made graves

Now through Death Give Birth

A mighty voice speaking clear
Clams “I knew them well”
Washed clean of dirt they pass the gate
As those still dirty fall to hell
Further grateful, always grateful
For saviors saving words
Now pass the gate to final place
A wonder filled new city and Earth
With shining streets of golden brick
And all things of pain unknown,
What glory built this mighty place?
Forever His, place of worth
With out worry death or hurt

Now through Death Gave Birth
