To exist as humans
Is to live in the tension
Between the eternal
And the mundane

We cannot lose sight
Of one or the other
So it is needful
That we keep shifting
Our focus

But sometimes
We lose our rhythm
We get stuck

We get wrapped up
In the pain of reality
And lose our peace

Or avoid that pain
Seeking comfort in God
And lose the assignment
God called us to live out

We need to learn
To see God through the pain
Through the Cross

Only then
Will we have the peace
That passes understanding

Only then
Can we bring the eternal
To the mundane
