The Edge of Humanity

I walked out to the edge of humanity 
I could see what was, what is, and what will be.
All through time and space
The human race.
Our thoughts 
Meaningless yet grasping for hope 
Wondering 
Feeling a loss of control 
How do we let go?
Hanging in a balance 
Yet, we, as frail as a piece of dust 
Simply being.
God 
So big and awesome 
Indescribable 
Yet, here and now 
We, mere mortals 
Are children of someone so much greater than we can or could ever imagine.
Humanity on the edge 
Rushing headlong into destruction,   
Annihilation 
We, simply are not in control.
We understand not of greater things.
Time, 
In a forward motion
Surges forth as it bends and twist
Mere humans, simply being.
As fingers being peeled loose of things not meant to be controlled by those of greed
We wait
Watching, groaning in anticipation on the edge of humanity of things to come.
A time beyond human thought can ever imagine or achieve in our own humanity.
Time 
Moving forward at an accelerated pace
Feeling uncontrolled, yet, in reality, very much controlled
Not by mere humans 
Frail dust
Hanging in a balance
By God in His awesomeness.
The only one who was, who is, and who forever will be.
