Time After Time


Outline: On Immortality
Review: Any comment welcome.
Time After Time

The mountain stands in all its glory
carved by ice and crowned in snow
pushed up high from deep sea bed
ten thousand millennia ago.

It watches with impassive eyes;
it's seen it all before;
it hears the heartbeat of the earth
and the whisperings of Man.

Its face is old, as old as Time itself;
its brow deep-furrowed, watching,
waiting, knowingly knowing
that time after time will come and go
but He, in Majesty,
remains.

How many people throughout time have stood upon a particular mountain? What times have passed in view of that mountain? We see just a glimpse.

Good poem.

Thanks Ian,

Yeah, '...just a glimpse.' I like that Cool but what a sight to behold, hey, even though only for a relatively short space of time - Life. We are so lucky to have been given the opportunity to experience it, hey. Thank you God.

Cheers

It's all about time scale, for in due course that mountain will wear down. Nothing is forever.

A thought provoking read,

Brian
