Poems by Christina Lake
Christina Lake was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1966 but grew up in Brantford because she was adopted at the age of two. She credits her adoptive mother with giving her the love of the English language. Her grade nine English teacher, at a chance meeting years after graduation, encouraged her to take up writing again. Between volunteering her time as the editor of a non-profit newsletter, working during the day and writing her first inspirational novel, she also studies the Bible as it pertains to endtimes. Led to the Lord by her husband of fourteen years, she is kept busy raising two daughters, one kitten and a goldfish named Thomas. She is a member of The Writers' Circle of Brantford.

Omega Earth flattened air thickened sky darkened blood sickens No creature creeps no fowl flies mens' hearts fail fear prevails Trumpet sounds those on ground look anigh t'wards the sky Christ returns new Name burns men understand Truths at hand Sword of light penetrates night slays His foes His own know End has come Conqueror has won Christina Lake (c) April 2,000 |

The Conqueror Death, ever hungry prowls across the earth dedicated to draining life from humanity. We hear the hoofbeats. Menace Incarnate Pale rider of the skies sorrow and sickness are your minions. We refuse to surrender. Swift murdering thief Cancer of the world you steal the body from mankind. Your hunt is not eternal. Victorious for a short season longer you'll know what it means to be hunted. The Conqueror is coming for you. Because He lives, we can say, "Death, where is thy sting?" sentenced by your very nature you shall be the last to perish. Death shall be no more. Christina Lake 2-24-99 (c) |
