The river crashes down the mountain side
Helplessly I’m carried by on its tide
Swift and certain full of might and power
Like destiny at it’s appointed hour
In the distance where the banks spread wide
A mighty tower rises from the tide
I see it gleaming white against the sky
Around its turrets see the eagles fly
Closer now the river pulls me now
To the tower tall, majestic, proud
See how proud it stands amid the stream
Promising refuge, hope, a chance to dream
Yet as closer still I’m swept along
I can see that something’s oh so wrong
This is no marble pillar on granite base
It’s only sandstone loosely set in place
The waters power is pulling at the blocks
Breaking up the soft and crumbling rocks
The tower is a lie, it soon will fall
Those within will perish one and all
Leave the tower quickly please I cry
Join me in the water lest you die
What you see as strength is but decay
Soon the flood will carry it away
Author notes
The river is the will and Holy Spirit of God who we have all but abandoned. With out massive and quick repentance the tower is going to fall.

Thank you so much for your entry into my contest, your talent and hard work are very much appreciated. I liked this poem, it did what I had wanted and that is great. I did feel the rhyming was a bit forced in places and there was a bit of unscheduled repitition but other than that it was a brilliantly done poem.
Your Host,

AWESOME
This is a great poem it gives things kind of a fantasy feel to it..but then sets everything back in reality. Just like in real like things that look good on the outside are beatiful and full of wonder..can be our demise if its not of God. Awesome poem. It was fun to read and kept me reading. God Bless

I enjoyed this poem, it has a dreamlike feel to it.
The first two stanzas remind me of British Romanticism at it's best... -
