The Day God Died Poem by Uriah Hamilton

The Day God Died

Rating: 5.0


Birds were singing
Outside the window,
Dawn light was beginning to show,
A day of decision was rapidly approaching.

On the day of my divorce,
There was brilliant sunlight streaming,
Drenching every boulevard with hope.

With tears on my face
And a quivering voice,
I asked my wife not to go,
But her mind was set to dash every memory
Against disintegrating stones of forgetfulness
Like an ancient warrior throwing an enemy’s children
Over a cliff to rocks below,
Plunging them to their death.

I took a long drive into the gorgeous sunlight,
But I knew, there were parts of myself and God
I would never see again.

An honest record with a clear conscience and I still believe human only have warm tears? Very sad notion.

The day God died, with Him all his creations also died. God gave freedom of action to the mankind. He is only a witness for all our actions. He gave us sixth sense to think and act. But sometime we feel like blaming God, when we feel frustrated in our lives. But God doesn't mind it. Still He showers mercy on us. This poem touched the bottom of my heart and my sympathies to the affected person.

Sad, beautiful and completely genuine. I believe God still knows your name, Uriah. Kindest regards, Sandra

So poignant and bittersweet. If God is Love and Love has died, it's hard to keep faith. But just remember that, whatever you believe, love is an endless resource - you will find more. Hugs Anna xxx

Awwww, Uriah, that was beautifully sad. *nods* I can understand this fully. HE's still there, regardless of what we want others to think or how hard we refuse to let HIS glowing love shine through... HE's there... HUGS! Love~N~Honor, Kris!
