As The Star Falls <br /> <br /> <br />Like the tail of a comet <br />seen but for an instant and burns out. <br />Our life is likewise a shooting star <br />alive and healthy then, that power within <br />leaves without smoke. <br />A smile of love or laughter rolls and bubbles. <br />Silenced and frozen unconnected and cut off <br />from the body. <br />Alive in memories each sparkle in the eye, <br />every laughter wrinkle and each note in the voice silenced. <br /> <br />We are like the seasons that bloom and change in colorful ways. <br />than rest and sleep to take us to a dormant state. <br />And yet most marvel not that death is a time to rest <br />from this wicked world. <br />A place provided for safe keeping until the earth <br />can be once again a fertile garden to grow love and bounty. <br />When that time comes to awaken, there will be no memory of sickness, <br />death no hatred nor need for violence. <br />A restored earth with no memory of the past. <br />For Jehovah God himself will renew us and wipe away all tears. <br /> <br />Rev.21; 4,5 ' {God } will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, <br />neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things <br />have passed away; And the One seated on the throne said; 'Look! I am making <br />all things new.' Also, he says; ' write, because these words are faithful and true.''<br /><br />Myrtle Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-the-star-falls/
