As I drive in silence
almost in reverie
of the night
The city seems surreal
empty streets bathed
in yellow light
The dark sky and land
now changing hues
announce the day
In awe at the sight
I find I fold
my hands and pray
Leaving dawn behind
through birds eye view
a scene unfurls
Clusters of light on
snow covered ground
through misty swirls
The melancholy
feeling almost gone
I rest my head
And think about a love
that once might have been
but never really had
It is not some
treasure in a
far and strange
land
Or a hidden
clue in the
palm of your
hand
Some think it is
buried deep in
the mind or
soul
Others believe
the secret is
too hard a
goal
Live life as if
it truly is
a beautiful
gift
And in the end
you will be glad
that you have
lived
Hoping to
rid my
mind of
The Unattainable
Clear thoughts
focus on
all but
The Memory
Then discover
something refuses
to kill
The Hope
I’ve heard of
energy flow and
transcendental
meditation
Mind over matter
astral projections
one-ness and
self-observation
Aren’t they all
a way to explain
we really don’t
understand
How our lives
have been created
by God’s own
hand
Is it so difficult
to accept we
are more than a
scientific fact
And true meaning lies
with faith hope
and love being our
biggest act
Gisteren avond keek ik
naar boven en
zag duizenden sterren
in de zwarte nacht
En de glimmerende puntjes
miljoenen jaren ver
vertelden mij van hoop
en gaven me kracht
Om te beseffen dat zolang
ik kan genieten van
Zijn scheppingen die
in de hemel staan
Mijn leven genoeg waard
is voor Hem om
steeds maar moedig
door te gaan
