Timeless 2


Ecclesiastes 3:1 

A Time for All Events in Life

3 For everything there is an appointed time,
and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:

 

Timeless

 

Always here … seldom seen … perpetually running out

Catching up … impossible … just keep on trying

Sometimes near … or has been … spreading simple doubt

Getting up … so practical … as it keeps on flying

 

A moment … a stretch … some little impact

A sigh … a breath … a life time

Atonement … a catch … no Prozac

A cry … a mess … a life line

 

A forest … a tree … firewood

A seed … grain … some bread

The best … now flees … for good

Just free … no pain … no death
