of deaths primeval design,
The fluttering of glowing angel
wings, seems so distant
behind teary eyes.
As many struggle too
finds life’s punch line,
glorious hallelujah’s echo
through the daybreak.
Casting away ancient struggles,
light and dark unsheathe their
swords once more, within
minds riddle with sorrow.
Follow me to eternity
wherever that may be.
Where struggles can become
strength and the holiest of lights
will exorcise all fears.
I hear you’re S.O.S.

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: S.O.S. {Strength over Struggle}
This piece tugged hard at my Spirit, I read Your words several times and I Love the second to last line-that grabbed me and reference to exorcise all fears
Your beginning line prepares the reader for as I call reality- the world can be a savage place-with many struggles- I imagine there are others who could relate to what You speak-The last line shows to me, You have Compassion- I'm Blessed You are here
Excellent Voice to Inspire
Powerful images You have brought forth
Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love & light~ Desire~*~

I like this write very much! Life and death is very real, and they both have "a punch lines" You do not get negative about the issue. I do know there is eternity, but God dwells there and I do know that He is ever ready to listen if we will call out to Him...I do appreciate your write!
