Poem Title:
Poem
If all we see.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is vapors of fading empties Intangible sights, of which the soul Can never truly hold?.... Bricks of mortar bound buildings And endless faces, passing by within the crowds As quickly as the light from our days They seem to all fade away Left standing in the solitude Of our own searching eyes.... Into the reflections of ones soul The purpose and the meaning, for it all? As we gaze into the sunset That shall someday surely arrive.... What marks have we made? What treasures have we found? Is it enough within the end As we face our final breathes And to our lives, we take our final bow? Knowing, that the best we could have hoped for Was always shrouded, by the prevailing clouds Of grey, and darkened skies That have always surrounded our lives.... And then we sigh As we try to touch, the untouchable light Amid a life that has passed so quickly Within the dust, which had paved its path Is this all that there is? These shimmering moments, of joy and hope Awakening from a dream; like a flower That withers beneath the scorching sun All that we knew; and all that we loved.... For without hope, there is no tomorrow So what was this life, truly all about? Could all of its gold and pleasures Could they have been worth it in the end? If not, then why chase and pursue These unquenchably fading ghosts If, within the morning of our lives We shall suddenly awaken Unto our forever eternal graves.... No, there must be more Than what we hold touch or see Less truly, we be most miserable Within the lights dying The death of our soul~ Although, I have seen Heaven.... And I have embraced, 'The Morning Star!' Shall I not wish for all This eternity that I have beheld? That they may see beyond this moment As bittersweet, at its best That it truly is.... And to dream of holding ones loved ones Within their arms, always, and forevermore Bricks of mortar bound buildings, no But an eternity within paradise.... Where their love, and all love, shall never end! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Promise! {John 14}
