Like a dream
Ecclesiastes 5:7
7 Just as there is futility in many dreams,
so also in many words. Therefore, fear God!
You are like a dream come true ... you live my expectation
But only in the way I notice in my state of emptiness
Never much had second thought about your frustration
Being misunderstood and out of focus with my loneliness
Now here in early morn looking at myself
Understanding the waste of misplaced priorities
Not heeding the warning signs placed on a dusty shelf
Just blinded in my haste to reach conformity
What makes a father and a dad? What depth does it require?
After all is said and done is it action or just words?
Does it take both harmony and love’s unconditional desire?
So missing it makes a sad circumstance one can ill afford?
Jan Wienen
