ALL SOULS Date: Monday, 1st November 2004 @ 09:54:14 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Elizabeth_Dandy Feast of quiet, calm and peace Of those that from their labors rest; Feast of souls that found release From the shackles that oppressed. Still embraced by humid soil Rests the perishable clay, From toil now rests the mortal coil While bereaved ones weep and pray. Urns and graves alike divine Spirit immortal dwells nigh, Souls that left their earthly shrine Feel their loved ones mourn and cry. Seas and caves give up your dead! Leave the funereal night- Tombs and crypt and charnel bed Open up and see the Light! See He comes with might and smashes, Crypt and caskets, urns and plot, Gathering in the scattered ashes, Rise and see the face of God! © Elizabeth Dandy This poem is Copyright © Elizabeth_Dandy Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
