the closer...

the closer i get to the light...
Love, we are in God's hand.
How strange now, looks the life he makes us lead;
How free we seem, how fettered fast we are!
There is a time for
everything, and a season for every
activity under heaven: a
time to be born and a time to
die, a time to plant and
a time to uproot, a time to kill
and a time to heal, a time to tear
down and
a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to
dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather
them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search
and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear
and a time to mend, a time to be silent
and a time to speak, a time to love
and a time to hate,
a time for war
and a time for peace. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?
Meaningless! Meaningless! Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless!
all the things that are done under the sun; all
of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Reach many a time a heaven that's shut to me... My works
are nearer heaven, but i sit here.
Einsamkeit - Schön und traurig zugleich
We all have a dark side.. But i can feel mine creeping over the corners.
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
Dies Irae
... the longer my shadow becomes.
