If our world would end today
and light would shed no road
what path of rapture would we take
if no man would share our load?

And what if all would falter
and light Heavens turned to grey
and doom encroached our trodden paths
as life withered in its wake?

If mankind was abruptly halted
by nature's wrath, or war, or worse
which road would be less travled
of hope or mortality's curse?

Would we stand in subtle silence
as we searched for Heaven's grace
or would we tremble in fear and loathing
and run for shelter in disgrace?

What humility would we honor
if all else would cease to breath
would we beg for divine intervention
would we bid our souls God-speed?

A question of time and of eras
sped thru centuries of old and new
leaving impressions of destiny, foretold
imprinted in tomorrow's few

Which path we reap as we travel in time
in solemn prayer, we sleep sublime
but if the world ended today and hope is all we had
believing in God doesn't seem half-bad.....
