Routine

Isaiah 55:8-9 

“Indeed, my plans are not like your plans,
and my deeds are not like your deeds,
9 for just as the sky is higher than the earth,
so my deeds are superior to your deeds
and my plans superior to your plans.

 

Routine on your own …

 

Games in mind … thoughts in heart

dreams of yesterday revived

All together … fall apart

each one has his own life

 

Winds of time … calendar years

routine carved in the sunset

Pens of ink … similar fears

never put to rest yet

 

Emptiness … a chosen guest

assigned to great importance

Deeply scarred … second best

as treasured inheritance

 

Constant daze … called a friend

always by their side

Many words … never meant

announcing a free ride

 

Lifetime went … at full speed

leading down to nowhere

Fragile calls … from deep needs

blaming all up there

 

End of time … the last breath

just a new beginning

Game is over … no more tests

no one was really winning
