Will We Meet Once More?



One brief lifespan falls far short for grace to restore.
Will there be one final court?
Will we meet once more?

Broad divulgence of gross harms show acts most abhor.
Will there be cause for alarm?
Will we meet once more?

Astute knowledge can be found destined to explore.
Will there be a truth unbound?
Will we meet once more?

Peaceful nations seek accord granting good rapport.
Will there be a great reward?
Will we meet once more?

Deep encounters shape the heart that none can ignore.
Will there be a work of art?
Will we meet once more?

Timeout comes with the last breath like never before.
Will there be life after death?
Will we meet once more?
