Eternal / Temporal



Lightning strikes somewhere
and we're mere mortals once more
This is tragedy's tongue

Our suffering made temporary
Our pain flashes by
Our God / eternal

Hope lends strength
And we cling to the impermanence of pain
Coupled with the promise of eternal glory

Trace the hurricane with your weary eyes
Learn to live and love within the storm
Even as pain fights you for ownership of every moment. 

The sharp bolt may never dissipate in this life
But the knife dulls over time
As you inch closer to the endless

Your moments are numbered
Decimals in light of eternity
Soon enough you too will be a memory


From the book: Chronic Defiance
