I’ll Walk Away Only Today (contest Keeping It Brief – Pablo Neruda Quote )

I stand

still;

you lay.
Silently

Prayed:

My blue moon–
cycle

too

soon.

Shine

enlightening

on this
unbidden

communal

path…

Desired–

Heart

to caress you
even there

where shared musings,
moist blended air

don’t exist.

I kneel.

Yet, I resist;
for seeped dew

cools

angers’ heat…

Try
to forget your face,

tender touch,

loving lips?

Erase
visions

of your natural grace?

Even while you melted
away

from me?

Words

once whispered in twilight
ease me

as do sweet breezes
upon which I remember

our love

will return

to bloom
anew.

Impatient

I’ll wait.

Although my feet
walk away…

Only
today…

What Hope Can We Have for the Dead?
“Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” John 5:28, 29

“There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” Acts 24:15

“I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.” Revelation 20:12, 13
