Satan's Standing Room

Mostly for the Easter season, but also to participate in a couple of blog hops, I wrote a poem...
The abstract is melting snow crystals that I enhanced with blue....It seemed to suit the poem.

Satan's Standing Room


‘No rest for the wicked’
So the saying goes
As a gleeful Satan runs to and fro.

With access to the very inner circle,
Our Satan tattles his tales
Of never ending woes, of all that fails.

Meanwhile, the One rests at the Right Hand
Sitting, relaxed, knowing all his heirs are tools
Biding time in heaven, awaiting His footstool.

For Hell will be standing room only
No rest, nor relief, no way to cope.
When Christ sat down, his work finished,
Redeeming mankind, our true hope.







 Happy Easter Everyone♫♪

    Yes, you're right. Evil is not going on vacation.

    I like the blue tone in the crystals. And I feel more omfortable with abstract pictures than abstract words like God and Satan ;)
    Happy Easter!

    Nice poem, Satan his as already lost. We just need to claim ours. This Easter would be a good time to do it in Christ's honor who made it all possible for us. Google "how to be saved" to find the way.

    Idioms Dictionary: No rest for the wicked.
    Fig. It's because you are wicked that you have to work hard. (Usually jocular.)

    Nicely used here, no joking about it.

    Funny, I never thought of hell in shades of blue and perhaps that's the point. Or maybe I am just totally confused, poetry does that to me sometimes ;)

    I was skeptical about the title but the poem is quite nice. Love the editing of your photo, too.
