Caught in the Balance


Time passes ever onward
No obstacle slows its pace
Until the day the beating ceases
We are just a number along the way

We want purpose
To be remembered
We want to matter
To last forever

A life of contrasts
We live out our season
Chained to the now
We wonder the reason

A body for the moment
A heart for forever
Stuck in the balance
The two will meet never

Time passes ever onward
No obstacle slows its pace
Until the day the beating ceases
We are just a number along the way

Just some thoughts about the tension we feel as humans who belong to eternity but are stranded in time
