Bereft Of Reality

As we grow older; our memories fade;
we slowly lose our grip on reality;
sunshine, outside, replaced by the shade;
revealing destiny’s ultimate finality.

The sands on the shore; wash out to the sea;
exhibiting life’s ebb and flow;
what, once has been; now comes to be;
since reality has no place to go.

This magnificent kingdom; God’s endeavor;
which once was all it could be;
what we had thought, would last forever;
now become bereft of reality.

We began; thinking this is all there is;
all belongs to our Lord and Master;
the earth and its fullness; all are His;
in God’s absence; is only disaster.

How did this disaster, all come about;
we thought it would forever live on;
that which began with Light and a shout;
suddenly in darkness is gone.

What’s missing from the kingdom of light;
casting man down from heaven above?
In the fullness of time; all became night;
for, the evil one had replaced love.

Love was created by the Master’s shout;
earth was Light’s illusion of duality;
in the fullness of time; love’s Light went out;
and the earth became bereft of reality.
