Imagine all I know undone
No rising setting glowing sun
No starry skies, no midnight moon
No gentle breeze, no morning dew
No mountain highs, no valley lows
No winding river water flows
No giant trees, no grasses blown
No sandy dunes, no fluffy snow
No birds up to the skies abound
No schools of fishes swimming ’round
No horses running ‘cross the plains
No lions, bears, or wild game
No day or night to pass the time
No ground to rest my weary spine
No sights, no sounds
No smells, no tastes
Forgotten touch of warm embrace
And them, I love, left far behind
I’m all alone, outside of time
But wait! There’s more! No less is true
The feel of pain long overdue
Denied the joy of gaping yawn
My body ash, a help bygone
No hands to cling, no arms to swing
No feet to flee, no running free
No eyes to see, no ears to hear
Not even nares to whiff the air
No mouth to speak, no nodding head
No means to do what I intend
The nothing left inspires dread
Dissolving dreams of one now dead
My life’s collage regrets enshrined
But no new thing attends my mind
The whats, the hows, and whys forgot
My mind once sane is all but lost
So what survives my earthly reign?
A disembodied spirit’s pain
Reserved alone, in misery
A barren soul’s insanity
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. Luke 2:46
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 2 Thessalonians 1:9
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Ecclesiastes 9:10
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deuteronomy 30:19
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
The sting of death denies to man Almighty God, His wondrous works, and fellow men.
Do not end up alone, my friend. It’s not too late unless you’re dead.
So choose the way, the truth, and life.
Believe in Christ and never die.
IN THE WORD
