Chasing Wind
~oOo~
We run around in an endless ring
Spinning faster and faster
Nothing stands still
Chasing our own tails
In an endless ring
But where is the gain?
What is there to win
by chasing wind?
~oOo~
Running around in an endless ring
Until the Day when our hearts stand still
If we do not have peace of mind
What is the purpose of our time?
The meaning of life?
~oOo~
Prosperity, money and property
Cannot grant us harmony
Nor peace of mind
One Day we have to leave it all behind
~oOo~
The one who has a lot, thirsts always after more
The grass is always greener on the other side
Around the corner
A Mirage smiles
~oOo~
The one who has a lot, thirsts always after more
Never is he satisfied
And soon
He is back to square one
Everything is as empty as before
And the chasing begins once more
~oOo~
There is nothing new that has not been before
An endless circle of time
~oOo~
A shadow, a gust of wind is our lives
In the blink of an eye
Our lives pass by
Take heed of the words
"Remember your Creator in the days of your youth"
The Spring of Life soon is a memory lost in the mist of time
~oOo~
There is much toil, but also hope and joy
The smile of a boy
A mother's embrace
The help of a friend when all seemed lost
The kiss of a wife
Love transcends the wheel of time
Let us listen to its voice
~oOo~
The Psalmist sings:
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path"
Life may be dark
A place of strife, sorrow and toil in the endless flow of time
But in the eye of the Stormy Night
God is our Peace and Light
~oOo~
Jesus says
Whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst
But have Eternal Life
~oOo~
