Genesis Ex Nihilo (original written 1989)
After hours hard spent in thought
Reviewing lines of half truths,
I can no more pass judgment
Than dream bullets can kill.
Once I crossed a mile long bridge
To dim and distant life shores
But learned no profound facts.
Now I see the ravages of war
And feel an unbearable urge to laugh,
Like the slowly dying man
Who remembers all his mistakes,
I was on the way to having faith
Still, so many high fence rows
Divide me from simple desires,
And still I search for myself
Each day, in everyone I meet,
Doubting I will ever be found.
Sometimes, when the fear subsides,
I lounge in the sun reading Yeats
And find the time to wonder
How our universe can juggle
Such awesome gaps of reason.

Despondent
I talked to a friend of mine one day
Who had too much to say
The tribulations going on in life
Were too much to try
