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.
