Coffin


Coffin
awaiting me
at the end of my life;
a place of rest and reposing
until I’m awakened by the angel
who’ll be blowing the trumpet loud
Calling    all    loved    to    rise
out    of    the    earth
coffin!




Author notes

I was feeling a bit down earlier & hard pressed & then a few things happened to wake me up!

I saw your contest & as I was thinking of my death in the future thought it would be a depressing thing I could write about. Just the word coffin can be depressing. I was inspired to write a rictameter about that & then He Who inspires me took over & showed me His Truth in the matter. A write that was supposed to be depressing turned into one of joy! I'm including this in your Contest 'cause you had a part in bringing this about & I wanted to share this with you. All things happen for a reason.

Ps 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee: in the grave who shall give Thee thanks?
Ps 30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
1Thess 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Yahshua died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Yahshua will YAH bring with Him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Master, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Master shall not prevent them which are asleep. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
16 For the Master Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of YAH: and the dead in The Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Master.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. {comfort: or, exhort}

    An inspiratory write about how so many fear death. I love how you supported it with Bible verses in your author's notes. The form of the poem also added to the appeal.

    I'm glad you found a light for a dark poem. I haven't written many "Christian" poems, but to each their own. (I do have a couple though) If you like it, that's what matters. Good job! Hopefully I'll get the chance to read more of your stuff.

    I'm not too keen on the Christian feel I felt in this piece. Other than that I find it to be a good piece. I can't find fault with it. The lines seem to flow together.
    Good work. Keep it up.

    A beautiful poem, and a wonderful story to go with it. I love the change in this poem, and the change that HE made in your heart to go with this.

    Beautifully written as always, dear friend. Best of luck in the contest.
