Indigo
James 4:14 New English Translation (NET Bible)
14 You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes.
Indigo
Mornings arriving constantly as dreams probed the future
Moments are sliding now towards an appointed time
Here the word frequently forms into its own posture
As it is residing more and more into a habit of mine
Faded promises support a call that was lost long ago
As procrastination flourished like a flower in the sunlight
The price paid after all hesitantly with the color indigo
To be later embarrassing to prove to be far from right
Surely deep corruption has been covered by white paint
The blemishes will appear for sure some years from now
Most will have forgotten as people’s memories will faint
Being replaced by constant fears that seem imposed somehow
