Lay down-
Cry no more-
In my arms go to
Sleep
Breathe softly-
Evil has passed-
In my arms, you are
Safe
Death came-
She did not stop-
Green grass still grows
There is still life
Pain still hurts-
Tears still fall-
Sun still shines
Evermore
Dark night-
Evil lingers
Powers protect
You are delivered
Rest now-
You are in my arms-
Safe I will keep you
Forever
Kings fall-
Stars wane-
My love for you waxes
All the more
Here in my arms-
You're sleeping-
Be at peace
Darkness has passed
You dream-
You see her-
She comes for
You
She is loving-
Peace is her wings-
Death bears you away
Home
Not now-
Your time, no-
Continue you must
Go on
Fatigue sets-
Never forgiving-
Press on
To the mark
Soon you will come-
Finally, the end road-
There she awaits you
To carry you home
Fear no more-
Hurt can't touch you
Jehovah still reigns
Amen
At peace will I be-
Soon I will follow-
Then I'll be in your
Arms
I will weep-
You will comfort-
My tears gone,
Forever
In your arms-
You hold me-
I will lay down my head
And sleep
Fear we, no more-
Hurt cannot touch-
In Jehovah's arms
We sleep
Hey.. I read your death poem and you read mine .... I realy liked yours .... the laying in youir arms and being safe.. I can't do that ... I havvne't been in anyone's amr in months and I won't let myself and for my lonleyiness that I start thats why i wrote "death" because I wanna die myself..
This is the first poem of yours that I've ever read. I'm very impressed. You not only write great stories, but poems as well.
I really like how you taken such a common situtation and sculpted it into an alluring collection of phrases. Very good...
i like this poem alot. the writer uses great imagery in the way he uses short, small words in short stanzas. it creates the feeling of the speaker whispering to his love. his words aren't meant for anyone else...only his love. plus...i absolutely love that it speaks of eternal life with a living God. the only thing i would make different about it would be that this life can only be found in salvation through Jesus Christ. great poem...God love ryan.
