Gert Strydom Poems

I saw a thunderbolt exploding,
hitting a tree and splitting it,
cleaving it open from top to roots,
causing it to fall down trembling,
...

After rebelling, against the Creator,
falling in sin,
Lucifer and his evil companions
did enter in
...

Unfortunately visions are sometimes false
and still Michael stands against Lucifer
and like everyone knows
everything is measured up
...

By their choice once perfect happy beings
as Lucifer,
Adam and Eve lost immortality,
they did offer
...

Chirping it landed in the rain, pecked,
left little prints
in the mud as it trampled here and there,
at bushy mints
...

A sheer loveliness was hers from her birth,
a kind of grace
that has been quite unknown for many years
was on her face,
...

a kind of grace
that has been quite unknown for many years
was on her face,
some men became silent as she did pass,
...

A sheer loveliness was hers from her birth,
a kind of grace
that has been quite unknown for many years
was on her face,
...

Maybe we would have acted different
if we did know
quite how short our time together would be;
nothing could slow
...

Hand in hand we walked through the city;
the market-place
had small stalls that sold almost anything.
On your sweet face,
...
