transience

 

we know not how much longer

    the light will remain on this veiled land

we know not how much longer

    we will wander through this misty world

before we are taken into the next

and that next world is so much

more real

more true

more lasting

and more fulfilling 

than all the 'worlds' we have created 

in this fleeting, transient world, 

if we live what life we have left for God alone

so let us live every moment of this present day, 

and every day that we each have left,

burning, burning, for the love of God our Father,

Christ His Son,

and the Holy Spirit our Helper
