Wandering thoughts


Hebrews 3:10      New English Translation

 

10 “Therefore, I became provoked at that generation and said, ‘Their hearts are always wandering, and they have not known my ways.’

 

Wandering thoughts

 

Here we go again, thinking in silence

The flesh takes its course far from common sense

Forming and building castles out of the sand

To last for a moment and then collapse again 

 

Always darkness and then a fake-full light

Now deeper inside, earnest effort grows dense

Feelings take over then to bind the hands

Of reality and truth turned over to perhaps

 

How many did fail in following their thoughts?

How many did crumble so far before too late?

Not many capture quickly the wandering mind

And quenched the subtle lust before it matured

 

Where is the end of persistently falling apart?

Where are the pieces that seem scattered into space?

Now confused, it seems, likely driven toward a mime

Covered by a fragrance dipped in refreshed allure
