Surprise Ending Revelation Revealed Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

“Had a peevish dream
about a piece of meat.
Rotting in steaming heat.

Stone cold end edicts one
stiff statuette shocked
viewer dreamer numb.

It proved tragically. To be me.
I’m decapitated dead you see.
Life’s not so desperately bad.

Meanings not so ultimately sad.”
Overwhelming urgent anxiety
overcome at point of lasting hope.


Dramatic not reckless was last resort
beyond hope wicked defeated by grace
in redemption deed. Beauty generosity

of spirit an infinite love favour mercy;
the goodwill shown to humankind by God
rebukes sin in martyrs crown. After all!
