Resurrection of the World.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Free verse
Time is fast for the living.
Time is slow for those past.
The creator who died taught us how to die.
The creator who lived taught us how to live.
Things exist because they happened to the source of all creation.
Now they happen for us.

    This poem encapsulates the essence of life and leaves us with a profound understanding of our mortality. The contrasting tones between the fast and slow nature of time creates a striking contrast, making us appreciate every moment we have. The message of learning how to live and die from the creator who lived and died is truly thought-provoking, leaving behind a feeling of gratitude and inspiration. The last line of the poem reminds us that everything happens for a reason and the source of all creation is responsible for this beautiful journey we call life. Overall, this poem is a powerful reminder to cherish each moment, learn from both life and death and be grateful for the miracle of existence. Great work!
