A strange dream.
Hello old man!
It's so good to see you again;
I tried to give you a friendly hug!
But you gently refrain.
We made our way together
Down a narrow pebbled beach
Perhaps there is a lesson here
To me you have to teach?
The sea was calm
The sky ice blue,
The sea salt I can taste!
But when I looked at you again
There was worry on your face.
That blue sky quickly darkened
And a thunder began to roar
And high and choppy waves
Began a crashing upon the shore!
A tidal wave stood unmoving
So high I could not see
Of Biblical proportions
Like the parting of the red sea!
A spectacle so frightening
I thought that I might die.
When all at once another wave
Standing twice as high!
You beckon me and spoke so soft
Your words I could not hear
For within this frightful din your message disappears.
You gently take my hand and try to lead me from this place
And when I looked at you again disappointment was etched upon your face.
You show me in the distance sunshine and white cliffs
But panicking I step backwards and rapidly I lift
Upon the back of a Raven that sores into the sky!
But strangely I see the teardrops rolling from your eyes.
Disappointment that I've failed this test and a broken hearts I see.
Yet deep inside this guilty sole these feeling won't let me be.
I leave behind my passion, my love and faith of God, I am bereft
An invisible hand thrusts inside my chest and shows me I've nothing left.
