This Temporary Life

Personal photo taken in Yellowstone National Park

Cloud shadows drifting over the snow

Hypnotic, like watching a campfire

They remind me all life on our earth

Is an ephemeral, transient,

Soap bubble waiting to pop, vanish

Then we pass over to a whole new

Dimension, life, place, and existence

I pray it’s one filled with God’s mercy,

Light, Truth and Peace — where we will be with

All the righteous who went before us

May our most Gracious God make it so!
