Poem: “The Gentle God”

by Michele Marie on Feb 01, 2013 in Poetry

The Gentle God

The gentle God stands off in the distance
Awaiting the arrivals
That moment the world calls death-
He calls and cares, He coaxes and cajoles-
Hoping all will begin the great journey home
But they make the call, they make the choice-

Eternity will show
Those who choose a route of truth
And He who is truth-
Or those who choose to spend Forever
In a spill of black lies and deceit
In the pain of having rejected good and mercy
In the short-lived quest for fool’s gold…
