Naked

"Death is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
NIV Job 26:6

Naked, here I sit a bleeding
Thorns of roses scratch my seating
O! Now I know what clothes are for
So I don't lose the garden war.

And when the sun burns hotly red
My skin will blister 'til I'm dead
And so I'll dress in man's cloth tomb
For there's no safety from the womb,

Being naked.

Ah yes my friend, thankfully, there is sun tan lotion...
Very insightful, how well we forget our own mortality. Enjoy your work so much. ThisDiamond
