The Day is Near

What can be said
that has not been said before?

Facts change,
words rearrange,
details differ,
but at the end of the day
there is nothing new under the sun,
we are still a heartbeat away from forever;

we are still only a mixture
of vanity and vexation.

This life fades like morning dew,
evaporating into the sky,
forever lost,
eternally gone.

All the dreams and fantasies,
all the longing and sadness,
all the hopes and fears,
remain the same,
in spite of toys and technologies,
despite self-imposed dignity,
as we continue to
anesthetize and tranquilize
feelings and thoughts,
with pompous litanies
of monumental self-worth
and maniacal delusions of grandeur.

Seek that which cannot be lost,
search for truth and light,
find the way
in world without hope,
accept the free gift,
paid for by the only One
who could pay the cost,
He to whom all glory is given,
He who is the King of us all.

I am waiting,
I am ready,
the time is coming,
the day is near.
