Where to go from here ... really?


Ecclesiastes 3:11 

11 God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time,
but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart
so that people cannot discover what God has ordained,
from the beginning to the end of their lives.

 

 

Where to go from here?

 

Life seems like a freight train rolling down the tracks

At every intersection it passes it alarms a final notice

In sunshine or rain it will never turn back

As its destiny constant flashes the conclusion of its purpose

 

Forward progress slow or fast only noticed by the driver

It will only go on one direction where the rails by man are laid

Surely future and past always meet where the wiser

Enjoys time’s dedication as a moment in the Eternal day

 

Here and there a station to replenish what was used

All the noise of moving suddenly is lost in time

Away then the frustration and the pain of life’s abuse

As quiet peace is soothing this restless heart of mine
