fast
slow

never stopping
always going

can we catch it
without slowing?

on the face that's always
glowing

can we pass it without
growing?

at times we feel like
it is towing

us behind it
never knowing

what it is that lies ahead.


here it comes it's always
beating

bringing laughter
sometimes weeping

wanting you to think it's
leading

to a hand that's always
feeding

your sore heart that's ever
bleeding

but you never are content.



now it's here it's got you
thinking

looking sly with tempting
winking

and your heart is ever
sinking

down into a black abyss.


and your heart is always
leaking

‘cross the pane your blood is
streaking

yet you still are always
seeking

something else to fill that void.


In the sunset you can
see it

all creation 'round you
be it

hope inside begins to grow.


you know inside you know
for sure

you know that you have found
the cure

so you answer that tugging
lure

knowing that it will
endure

forever and all time.
