Passing Through

Passing Through

Through cosmos passing dark and clear

            a blue green marble ventures near;

Speeding through the great expanse

            so comfortable with the millionth chance.

Not conscience of the complex signs

            and unwilling to accept a smart design.

 

Through eons passing every dawn

                                                                                                                                                                                                              a human signature is drawn;

What is done today but gone so fast

            a record kept on scrolls to last.

Our stamp on life for all to see

            look up, we are humanity.

 

We cry to something why are we here?

            our own obscurity is what we fear;

Searching endlessly for what will last

            not knowing that the die is cast.

To pass through life in temporal grief

            a prayer each day to find relief.

 

Forbearing long and foresight clear

            eternal recompense so near;

Who we are will have no claim

            but what we do will hide the shame.

Acknowledge Him who came before

            standing now in the open door.

 

Looking up in the darkest night

            amongst the stars so vast and bright;

What we do today our children hear

            what is tomorrow they should not fear;

The Light has come that all may see

            look up, we are humanity.
