Open

As the light shunned upon my face,

The blessings of my life unveiled upon my brain.

My soul began to ache with love from above,

His mercy ever so abundantly given to me,

Shed upon my twenty years on Earth,

His grace stretched with his loving

Arms of protection.

I thought nothing about the world, but

Rather being closer to Him,

For the things of this world will inevitably

Pass away, like a dream that one can’t

Recall in the morning, you are left

With nothing.

There was no need for me to procrastinate,

No angst or fear, except the fear of Him

In thy soul, He will and has delivered

Me from anguish, and destruction

of my soul.

Do not worry or dwindle your thumbs about

The ending of your self-centered lives, but

I urge you to take a step back and listen to

God. He’s speaking, you should listen,

Open your ears, the trumpets will soon

Sound through the nations, open your ears,

Your hearts, don’t worry about the End,

Just listen to his voice, He is here,

Prepare yourselves for Eternity,

The End.

Chaney Bennett was born and raised in a small town, 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge called Gonzales. Growing up she always envisioned her self becoming a teacher, but by the time she reached high school graduation, Chaney was determined to find something more deep within her self. She began writing as much as she could, trying to find her "niche", pressing to find herself. Chaney loves writing, she never knew that until it was all she did, she enjoys it, she is desperate for it, everyday is a poem, an article, a short story to be written, to be told.
