Awaiting Destruction

We all know we will die
We all know our life can change
In the blink of an eye

And sometimes we fall into the seduction
Of awaiting destruction

Those days when we sit there worrying
Without it leading anywhere
Those days we spend hurrying
To nowhere

It’s out of fear
That something might go wrong
That something we hold dear
Might become

Lost and gone

And tightly we hold on
Still caught in the seduction
Of awaiting destruction

But I refuse to walk this path any longer
Yes, each day may bring the end
But I’ve become stronger
And by embracing impermanence
I begin to ascend

To where I do not know
Only time will show

But with everything I have
I will resist the seduction

Of wasting my life

By awaiting destruction
