Final Day's

Well, this poem is really more of an experiment than anything else. The theme is, obviously, the time of the rapture, followed by the tribulation. Ultimately I was playing around and practicing rhyming on a theme and this is what came out. I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with it, I've changed a couple of the lines once or twice, but it's not bad.

Death releases now from debt
And fire burns the world clean
Chaff is burned, as is regret
And from sin the world he will ween

Darkness covers day's regretful sting
And ever summons up sinful desire
The Lord a final cleansing flame will bring
To light the dark and burn sin's wicked briar

In final day's and light's last glance
Regret on the tongue sits sweet
Rise we will to heaven's great romance
As in the air the Lord we'll meet

Drawn from sinful world's mire
Freedom we will know
As pitied world burns on sinful bier
Ever with the Lord we'll grow
