Eternal Peace

Thee ashes fall like snow, upon the field of brush.

My pulse beats fast and my nose starts to burn, as I feel the temperature rise.

I cry out for help.

For a savior to come.

I am stranded here, but not one knows.

Ten more minutes and I will be gone.

Ten more minutes and my body will char.

Can't get out, I am too weak.

Can't get out, I am stuck.

With a fallen tree bruising my limbs, and a broken heart descending.

Soon I'll be just a hidden corpse.

Among the billions today, buried deep tomorrow.

If only I would have known, I shouldn't have came out here.

But now it's all to late.

It's getting hard to breath.

Oh God, how can this be?

The fire I started will be the end of me, but then where will I go?

To Heaven?

To Hell!

As I lay here with fear creeping into my eyes, I now understand why.

I understand your greatness, and your ability to love.

I understand your passion, and your forgiving heart.

I understand why we're here, and why I'm almost not.

Most imported now, I see your mercy is strong, even though I have done wrong.

It may have taken fifteen years, but what is life without you!

And now I know your face.

As my eyes shut, my bones burn, I breath my final breath.

I know that only by amazing grace, my soul will find eternal peace.
