Left Behind

As the pleasures of this world overwhelm us
And the sorrows of the land cautions us 
Forget not, we are just passing-by
Just as the wind blows so is life
It is full of joy and dust which sparks in our eyes to reality
Timeless as it may seem
As time bond, it is for real
Man's constant search for peace lies right, in the heart
For true peace, we have no idea of
Though blind we sing songs of sight
For realms we relish deep within
Hoping to grab a portion
The truth of the inner man's passion
To be free and free  in deeds 
Never to be left behind
An act of faith
