The Meteorite

A meteorite approaching earth
Gave cause for grave alarm
As nations banned together
To protect the world from harm

Everyone became aware
Of the planet’s fated plight
And looked to help their neighbors
And those that could not fight

Each day it traveled nearer
And each day a brighter light
Had mesmerized the entire globe
But not with panicked fright

A strange and wondrous feeling
Had blanketed the earth
It was as though each living soul
Felt one another’s worth

As though a lovely woven veil
Fell gently from above
Covering the entire world
With peacefulness and love

The meteorite came closer yet
And they stood, but not in fear
Each person demonstrated love
As the end was drawing near

Love and peace poured from the earth
At this sight so strange and odd
But it was not a meteorite
It was the face of God

It was the very first time
In the history of mankind
That every soul was looking up
To God at the same time.

I love it!  What a wonderful thing that would be if that could happen.

An astounding correlation between the Light of the world and the meteorite.  Makes you wonder what it will truly be like when spectators begin to see afar that Heavenly City descending from the sky?

Liz,
What a different but marvelous comparasion - of impending doom versus loving fellowship and anticipation of the Lord's coming again in Righteousness.  Truly uplifting and inspiring--comming together to face the challenges- instead of falling apart in cringing fear.  I am awed,  David

The coming together theme in this poem is nice..but I doubt if it'll happen like this. In fact, scripture informs us that many will run and cry, 'rocks fall on us'.. the imagery is certainly heart warming though.  Thanks.
