Speechless


Habakkuk 2:20 

20 But the Lord is in His majestic palace.
The whole earth is speechless in His presence!”

 

Speechless

 

Running out of things to say ... before you even started.

Loosening all the ties ... that strapped you to the past.

Is it any wonder ... that all seem so discarded?

Nothing much matters then … as life is going fast.

 

My last breath before the last ... could it be the first one?

My next thought could it bring ... the twilight of my day?

Positive or negative could it show a difference

as it seems an illusion ... that simply fades away?
