What is riches?
Ecclesiastes 5:12
12 People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much.
But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.
Wonder
Maybe sleep will conquer the feelings deep inside
but what if feelings are hidden deep beyond our awareness.
Are then feelings mobilized to trigger deep indifference
or are these just expressions of the certainty of denseness?
Many times I wondered and so often tried.
to understands one’s destiny or at least to see the pathway.
Now I travel slowly ... steps rather uncertain,
down a path I thought I knew ... on this final day.
Where will it take me ... I know not down the drain.
Some celebrate uncertainness ... like it is the path self-chosen.
I think it more to be a life ... that gave up all the gain
as it tries to unwind emptiness where it had been locked frozen.
Now is the first day ... of the rest of my life
Already planned with busyness like an ant in preparation.
Cannot give up the cycle that was treaded down with years
of undivided attention ... to survival’s salutation.
