Hamilton's Poetic Essays On Life

By Michael Hamilton

We came into the world with nothing, and we leave the same way. We can hold on to Jesus, He's a warm home on a cold and rainy day. Our life is marked in stages And when we pass away, We enter the final stage of life Where only love holds sway. A mountain, with the passage of time, Will simply fade away, and so will the universe, So the scientists say. Love is the only part of our reality That's strong enough To last eternally. The end of this short life Is the beginning of an eternal one, Given by the love of God Through his only begotten son. If they ever came close to figuring it all out With only one mystery left to see, The last one to contemplate will be Jesus walking on the water of the Sea of Galilee. He created this earth we live on, For him a simple feat. Small wonder the water would become Pavement under his feet. ""Michael Hamilton Excerpt from the poem, "Transition"

About the Author

The Image of GOD

Nestled in an arm of the Milky Way

Is a planet we call Earth

An island in space-time,

Favorable to life, that gave us birth.

That life now strives to understand

The universe and its time at hand.

The universe’s birth was an instant in time,

The scientists say,

And in the future,

It will end some day.

A black hole is a tear

In the fabric of space-time

According to the calculations

Of Albert Einstein.

Time is the mitigation

Of the universe’s propensity,

Using ultimate gravity

To reclaim its primal unity

The journey of life

Is a microcosm of the universe,

With just a few differences

That make it go in reverse.

On any journey

You must depart then arrive.

However, on life’s journey

You arrive then depart.

It might be confusing

If it ended there,

But with life you depart

To
