Conflicted

Conflicted

Eternity will share it's face and lo, there is time

Certainly the latter while limited also transient

All that is of it, once covered in light

Now exchange it for darkness in sight

Eternity offered itself to be taken, to live on

Its garments within reach, just to be put on

It begs of us to wear them, be covered in light

If we do, we will never walk in darkness of night

Voices in eternity spoke, saying, "let us"

Fearfully and wonderfully made, we stood

We grasped at what we were already, in image and likeness

What was for our gain, now turned into pain

Why give up eternity for time

We gave up all that was waiting, anxiously waiting

Onlookers from afar questioned our decision

To live in the darkness of time, than in the light of eternity
