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
