THE BRIDEGROOM COMMETH
The clouds tremble, releasing rain into the earth.
They separate to escape the sky,
Rumbling and roaring.
A shout appears from the core of Heaven.
The earth trembles from its belly.
The seasons are let loose at once.
Confusion controls the atmosphere.
Reaching hands grab toward the sky.
Souls that toiled in tranquility, now weep.
Judgment has arrived.
Suddenly! Without notice, He appears.
Life comes to a close.
Eternity is released.
The saints are dressed in white linen.
Each bearing new names.
Zion sparkles like the break of day.
Shadows are defeated.
Light encircles His crown.
Angles sing a new song.
Suddenly!

About the Book
Spiritual Latte: Meditation, Poetry, and Hymns to Jump-Start the Day shares the inspired work of a minister and poet, Shelby Holmes.
