Until We Die

Until We Die

 

Like all in ages of old, we waited to be told

Bells that tolled for us as time refused to hold 

After a life of much, now nothing's left to behold

Bodies of clay placed in a place oh-so-cold

 

A journey for all so brief when it once had begun 

No sooner had we started than to face a setting sun

We helplessly cooperated with time where life is fleeting

A certainty for all one place of fateful meeting

 

We grasped at everything to find absolute meaning 

Only to find what's left gave no hope for living

We drank from various fountains to quench our thirst

Sadly realized we longed all along for what we were at first

 

A seed placed in the ground of time must now be ready

Naturally do what it was meant to in eternity

God's image eagerly emerges to our oneness 

We find truest rest in The One to be at our very finest

Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
