"Mission-impossible"
Proverbs 21:2 New English Translation
2 All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion,
but the Lord evaluates his thoughts.
“Mission-impossible” always turned out-right
Man had all the answers to corner someone else
Always had self in mind and no eyes for another
A life of ease so hard that only callouses are felt
Am I writing in circles? Do I know what it means?
As my pen moves over paper and words are pouring out
Does it all have to make sense the moment that it fades here?
Or are some thoughts just set aside for another mental bout?
Nothing new under the sun. Did someone sit here before?
Pen in hand and paper to write really “I don’t know what”?
My son who is analytical will just shake his head
And call this a waste of time while proving this or that
Memories are fading as life is passing by
Time seems to disappear into shades of nothingness
Being here in quietness not caring about a thing
Is life another dimension or just a form of forgetfulness?
Jan Wienen
