Found...Wanting



Poetics Aside Prompt; Scary


The banquet is ready
Earth is consumed with a cry
'Behold, He cometh'
The Bridegroom shatters the sky

Fire and wind
Is hurled, unfurled
Ah, yes! This is it…
…the end of the world

Those washed in His blood
Rise to meet Him in the air
Oh my God, oh my God
Why didn't I prepare?

Up on the hill
The ark of safety sits but
Its grace has ended
And the door is shut

All we can hear
Is the toll of a bell
And wailing and weeping
As the gates open to
Hell
