After Forgiveness


If I die tomorrow where shall I go?

Shall I flee to greener grass, below sun?

Shall soul be met along the river flow?

Where shall I go when life is truly done?

Blackened skies that churn, among raging flames?

Or streets of gold manned by a pearly gate?

I ponder for hours, one of the brains' games.

I lived my life of hate, chasing His bait.

Will I see the sweet glory of Heaven?

I cannont withstand Earth, Lord, come save me.

I have chased the holy dream since seven.

After time is done, I want my soul free.

 

I see white light. My body is risen.

Thank you, Lord. My sins have been forgiven.

<p>I don&#39;t have any critiques of this. I just wanted to say that this is extremely good and passionate. That&#39;s what I love most about poetry, is that you can actually feel the emotion being put into the work. I&#39;m glad I read that</p>
