Then spake Haggai the Lord's messenger
in the Lord's message unto the people,
saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.
Alone in my Dreams
8/3/05
I dream sometimes
when I'm alone
Of home, of peace,
and, yes, of love
But dreams are not
and still I'm here
Seeing, I am unseen
Loving, I'm unloved
Remembering yet
forgotten.
I live, and times
I'm torn in two
Fighting the urge
just to dream
Lost from the home I
cannot find
Looking - still lost
Dreaming for hope
Living, I am alone.
And so I dream what
life may be
Crying tears no one
cares to see
Praying my dreams
will come true
Laughing and loving
A home of my own
Never alone again.
In a word, this
expresses the isolation felt by one caught in bad situations with no
comprehend-able prospect for escape. It
seems not very surprising to me that people in such circumstances turn to ways
that are not considered acceptable to fill the void and counter the terror of
being so completely without control, be it drugs, gangs, dangerous sexual
activity, and other worrisome coping mechanisms.
