Ramblings...

Recommended Posts

what an odd and meaningless life we lead
we have goals and dreams
hobbies and things
people who we "love"
all in all we march on every day as drones
some claim to have found the secret
the one thing that makes life
worth what we claim its worth
fitness, cars, money, love
skydive, bike, camp, hike
what is it really
who is it really
is there that one thing that can
happily make life fresh and new
is religion the answer to our problems
are our problems rooted in endless,
endless quest for religious meaning
our dreams and goals lay before us
shimmering in the sun
waiting for our destination to
their being, to the end
at the end you see another goal
another dream that lays shimmering
just out of reach behind,
behind the translucent wall
allowing fleeting glances that
that for a moment give us hope
before the view is obscured by
the dirt of living, gathering
dustishly, greasily on the wall
blocking our view, distorting our dreams,
upon finally coming upon our goals
glimmering in our eyes
with closer inspection, do they still glitter
the enameled lust of a dream
aye what a thought
under the surface the truth be known
that we still lay waiting
hoping, urning for the one destination
that is not merely gilded but
the real thing that gives meaning
happiness, truth and beautiful love
this we will find
I think
at least we will know if find it
we do not, if its not there,
in this eternal sleep
smugly still we will lay knowing
with a grin that tells not
of the answer but merely that we know
smirking, spiting the face of life
we will soon know the answer
good or bad, the answer will be ours
