Less

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.               Ecclesiastes 1:9

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.               Ecclesiastes 1:14

with each passing day

I see the hopelessness,

I understand the futility,

I know the inadequacy;

I have been to the edge,

I have seen all there is to see,

I have known all there is to know,

I have said all there is to say;

there is nothing new under the sun;

old homes fade,

new ones crumble into the dust,

this world, this life,

no meaning, no purpose;

without You;

holding on,

waiting for a different way,

desperately searching for the light

of a brand new day,

standing accused,

guilty as charged,

nowhere left to run,

nothing more to hide,

line after line,

coming and going,

flowing like a mighty river,

and still

it is not enough;

I am less

than what You

made  me to be.
