A Passing Away

A lyrical poem that deals with evil, sin, and death.

Too painful to bear,
Words cannot describe,
The tearing,
Of my soul.

All for nothing,
My thoughts beguiled,
The flattery of darkness,
A sinful pride.

Austere surroundings,
Footsteps of death,
Memories too broken,
Chaos triumphant.

A smiling priest,
Plays with his cross,
Mumbling a litany,
For a ruined soul.

God above,
The One below,
Make as if,
They do not know.

The end is nigh,
Heart is pounding,
As He welcomes,
A passing away.
