Vapor - aging


Psalm 144:4 

People are like a vapor,
their days like a shadow that disappears.

 

Vapor - aging

 

I came from far to see you ... and I was surprised

when I embraced you ... I knew you were not at home

What has really happened with that part that you despised?

Why do you keep it hidden ... do you want to be alone?

 

Is this the world you won’t loose ... that part of your being?

The Lord made you complete ... so He can transform you

I accept you like you are ... there is no use for fleeing

He will change in due time ... all the things you do

 

Are dreams build on reality ... or visions build on vapor?

Are thoughts woven from nothingness and memories just a whisper?

Aren’t we here to stay ... as a timeless well-known flavor

to expose the Way of usefulness ... to the lost and the unlisted?
