This life is but a blink

Every day seems like an eternity.
Gazing down a road and seeing no one.
Walking slowly crying into the wind.
Knowing what I was and how that man died and now seeing that man standing within a world he no longer belongs to or fits in.

For the journey was not the point but the destination.
For a man can walk a lifetime and get to place he never wanted.
For I walked a life I thought was me and what I wanted.
Not until I saw the destination did I understand.

For many feel it is about the journey.
But a journey with no point is a waste.

So I laid my life down and I gave it to the king, so that I might be what he wants of me.
A voice, speaking in compassion and passion.
So that the light might be seen in the darkness.
So that many may know there is a way.
So the road they may find would be straight and narrow.

To spend so much time focusing on one second of an eternity.
To make that second so full and disregarding the rest is foolishness.
But to give up that second so that an eternity may be full...

This life is but blink
Eternity is forever
