Soon...

Soon

There

Somewhere

By the tree’s roots

We shall take our place

Soon

Moss

Will cover

The marker to prove

That once we lived

Soon

Everything

So important now

Will drift on the wind

Like scattered nothings

Soon

Life

Will be nothing

And death will be

Everything

Soon

In life earth’s roads sweep to the sky

And countless destinies

In death the road sweeps o'er the brink

To one Eternity

My friend repeated a quote to me yesterday that she heard recently. (I’m not sure who said it)

‘For the believer earth is as close to hell as they will ever experience.

For the unbeliever earth is as close to heaven as they will ever experience.’
