The edge of humanity
I walked out to the edge of humanity
I could see what was, what is, and what will be.
All through time and space
The human race.
Our thoughts
Meaningless yet grasping for hope
Wondering
Feeling a loss of control
How do we let go?
Hanging in a balance
Yet, we, as frail as a piece of dust
Simply being.
God
So big and awesome
Indescribable
Yet, here and now
We, mere mortals
Are children of someone so much greater than we can or could ever imagine.
Humanity on the edge
Rushing headlong into destruction,
Annihilation
We, simply are not in control.
We understand not of greater things.
Time,
In a forward motion
Surges forth as it bends and twist
Mere humans, simply being.
As fingers being peeled loose of things not meant to be controlled by those of greed
We wait
Watching, groaning in anticipation on the edge of humanity of things to come.
A time beyond human thought can ever imagine or achieve in our own humanity.
Time
Moving forward at an accelerated pace
Feeling uncontrolled, yet, in reality, very much controlled
Not by mere humans
Frail dust
Hanging in a balance
By God in His awesomeness.
The only one who was, who is, and who forever will be.
