The Write Light! Poem by Denis Martindale

God's light bulb shone with fervent glow,
Illuminating thought,
So that man's soul was in the know
Beyond what life had taught...
So that man stayed all through the night,
Transfixed upon his chair,
Despite the visions that brought fright,
Yet made him so aware...

God's mighty muse so strongly led,
That man gained such insight,
God's light bulb shone above his head
As he began to write...
Beyond the mortal realm he rose,
Transcending time and space,
Beyond the dream of normal prose,
As wonder filled his face...

For future times appeared before
His human form on Earth,
With prophecies none dare ignore
And none involving mirth...
Because the future beckons those
That God can use to warn,
Before the destined fatal foes
Make sorrows come each dawn...

Like Pilgrim's Progress, tales were told,
That made Man to repent,
Like Scrooge, who gave up years of gold,
When truth was Heaven sent...
So that the writer's soul was stirred,
To brave the prophecies,
Until he reached God's final word
And then prayed on his knees...

There has to be another way!
He pleaded to the Lord,
It's way too soon for Judgement Day!
The Earth can be restored!
But God said no, these things shall be,
But warn them just the same,
Their sins have brought calamity,
Each sinner bears the blame...

And so that writer studied well,
The Bible in one hand,
To learn of Heaven and of Hell
And what the Lord had planned...
There's no way out, no great escape,
For Gentile or for Jew,
Unless God's hopes in Christ take shape,
Unless the Rapture's true...

That man began to preach so much,
In New York, Rome, Berlin,
To minister the Saviour's touch
To rescue some from sin...
He understood and chose to write,
So others, too, were blessed...
And when the Rapture came one night,
God took him with the rest...
