The days go by at lightning speed.
A constant reminder of the impermanence of our humanities creed.

Where will we go on that day, the one we all fervently try to push away?
We all want it to be lovely, of this we daily pray.
Oh how much more would we here with our loved ones, rather stay.

Going, going, gone since the beginning of mankind’s time.
No more so called mountains, left to climb.

As with one, so is every other.
All on the same boat as our common brother.

Life is a whisper hushed by the final act of the equalizer.
In this respect no one is better, no one the wiser.

Live calmly today for tomorrow has already passed.
This certainly is how it goes by, don’t blink, it’s incredibly fast.

The question of life then has been asked and answered.
This since the beginning of our fall, this is the only measured standard.

Genesis 3:19b

“For dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Psalm 103:15,16

15 As for mortal man, his days are like those of grass; He blooms like a blossom of the field.  16 But when a wind blows, it is no more, As though it was never there.  

Ecclesiastes 9:5

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.
