I long for that which I cannot explain
As my soul conflicts to forget.
Through toil and struggle it still remains,
The balance of peace and regret.
Maybe this desire we find deep within,
Can only be met at life’s end.
Yet one life ends, and another begins
Stilling desire in the hearts of men.
But what is life, in purpose and meaning;
Are there reasons why we exist?
How can one know life from the beginning,
And will knowing bring significance?
Halfhearted pursuits surely promise pain
As we surrender our humanity.
For some seek, and yet few attain,
For the desire we seek is eternity.
Yet it is not that life may be lost
When eternity calls us by name.
We understand not the absence or cost
Restless we are sure to remain.
Chase eternity, then, through love and good deed;
And find significance and purpose for being.
Do good, yet forget not the desire you seek,
Pursue joy in all you do.
It is here, perhaps, amidst desire and pursuit,
That eternity will find you.
