Killing Time Before Eternity
We’re all killing time
Before eternity kicks back in.
On a brief holiday
Within this flesh and skin.
We came from nowhere
And we’re heading that way again.
Fortunately, in between,
We evolved eyes and brain.
We see, we feel,
We experience wonders all around
Standing on a spinning planet
With feet upon the ground.
We are incredibly lucky
To be conscious and aware
Of all the majestic wonders
Around us, everywhere.
We’re on a short break
From the void of nothing.
Staying here for a short while
In the realm of something.
It’s a mere speck
In the eye of eternity,
But we should grasp it
Most heartily.
For this time is all we have
To wonder and enjoy.
With all the enthusiasm
We can muster and deploy.

Life is so short.
Experience is so limited.
But we have eyes to see, ears to hear, tongues to taste, hands to feel, noses to smell and hearts to love.
For a short while we have been afforded the privilege to experience the wonder of a whole universe.
I am determined to make the most of this brief window.
Every second is precious.
