Twilight
Isaiah 28:4 4 And the glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the verdant valley,
Like the first fruit before the summer,
Which an observer sees;
He eats it up while it is still in his hand. Twilight
Is there left a sign of life
or is death prevailing?
That a dying life and a living death
are walking hand in hand
The difference between the two
cannot be felt through emotions
It just compares day and night
in the twilight of a man
Years pass by a day at a time
but few folks are counting
Time seems to evaporate
into what could have been
The blisters and the scars
from the past are reminders,
that in a slot of time somewhere
division in self was seen
The young seem to walk about
on a sea of expectation
The old washed up on the shores
of their broken dreams
The will to survive
has too long been fading
Wondering about purpose
is all that’s left, it seems
“Where is your faith?” God mentions
“Where is your love for Life?
“Where’s your desire for righteousness?”
Why all the turmoil and strife?
Why not trust in Me My children
and not in your self-chosen mood
Remember the price I’ve paid in full
It is all for your own good
