Sometimes the world seems
like a wave of endless dreams
draped over a window of opportunity
unrealized by the frame of our own indecision
drifting on the sands
of a wind too weak to contain
and too strong to release
as the angels of destiny
fail to find meaning
in the futility of sadness
that darkens night
into bright sunlight

an eclipse of fever
that rides across the heavens
painting misery
on the very souls it has come to protect

as I stand in the nothingness that supports me
through fire and rain
laughing beside myself
disconnected from reality
as the dreams I dwell in
slowly fade away

here I sit
where the mysteries of life and death
are made plain before me
yet the sight alone blinds me
and steals my voice
so that I may never describe
the insignificance
that we so richly deserve
and fail to achieve

I keep wondering
why this really even matters
as if understanding were a virtue
given to all
who drink from the fountain of life
that no one can reach

yet we pass away our time
with trivial matters
that mean the world to no one
and mean everything to those
who never see its effect on their lives
and never say thank you

When you return from Iraq, soldier man, you deserve a mighty big show of appreciation and a "THANK YOU" that could be heard on planet Mars!

You are probably feeling "disconnected from reality" so that you can have at least a modicum of peace in that war-torn land.

Your dreams do not fall on deaf ears as it may seem. Keep the faith, do your duty, and then come home to the land of plenty where dreams do come true.

I have been thinking of you and all of your comrades. I continue to pray for the safe return of all. You may be out of sight, but you are not out of mind. THANK YOU

Love, Peace, Harmony & Gratitude,
EA
