Evanescence

fading away with time

It comes every now, then and again

Consuming sometimes rapidly because it can’t wait to devour its prey

Other times slowly because it wants to relish its meal

It leaves no trail of whatever damage it’s caused either physical or mental

It cares not of the souls it’s claimed

It has just one purpose, one objective and one point to prove

That everything you are, were and ever would be will all meet by its chilling grip

It is the end to all things, it is evanescence 

Author's Note

well i know evanescence could be time itself, just let me know what you think

A bone chilling write Arnold! An end to all things to me means the tribulation period after Christ raptures His
bride home to heaven. (My training and belief system.) ~Sharon

[Quill]

yes that is the belief we Christians have, i always wondered what would become of the earth after the end of days, that's after everyone is gone

[Miss Sharon]

I've wondered about it too Arnold. I know the Bible mentions something about "a new heaven and a new earth" but I think that's when everything is over and our eternity begins. It's always nice to chat with a fellow believer! ~Sharon
