Grasping for straws ...
Ecclesiastes 2:23
23 For all day long his work produces pain and frustration,
and even at night his mind cannot relax!
This also is futile!
Grasping for straws in thoughts of nothingness
Somewhere I need to find the dreams of yesteryear
How to fulfill the call only through emptiness
while some substance is needed to get away from here?
How to be honest in a bed made of deceit?
How to present “worth living” with wrinkled empty hands?
Can one make an appearance from the bottom of the heap
and what was not seen before, was it not Heaven sent?
