Waking Dreams
There's a peaceless bafflement
that lives in the hearts of the people
and saddens them
if they keep believing the promises of the world.
It hurts them.
With the growing freedom of the years
comes the growing knowing
that there are things deeply wrong
which prevent the full enjoyment of life.
It wasn't meant to be like that
and we know it.
Why are we here
if in our innermost parts
there is not the firm foundation of order
but the menacing pit of chaos?
It shouldn't be like this.
When we see the faces of the saints
or look in the eyes of the children
we see a peace that we have lost
and it troubles our waking dreams.
