Eternity Comes
Comes lust with temporary fuels of pleasure
Burning with ephemeral flesh within the self
Ignites the night. Ignites the fire of fun
But it is you and only you consumed
To cinder out before the hour expires
Comes the Spirit before the dawn of stars
Forged long before the dinosaurs
Born before the moon to cast eternal light
With it fidelity casts a wider shadow
Comes love with every beating heart
It is eternity knocking at your door
If it comes in the door will never shut
How can it since it is God Himself
