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 flattenedair 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

The Conqueror
Death, ever hungryprowls 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.
