Transcience

Fleeting days…

moments filled with hope

yet the realization:

all we’ve known

has too soon

passed.

Surely more exists for

spiritual beings

living in

corpses of clay

as dust

diminishes

dust.

Living by every word

that proceeds

from God’s mouth

does not assure Heaven;

only through grace

can we possibly

imagine eternity

in these

fleeting

days.
