Restless Dreams

Eternity spent waiting,
is like a hell
for one's mind.

You begin to question,
to search,
to ask.

"Is it worth the waiting
for a dream
that could never come true?"

Everyday
you are faced
with these restless wonderings.

It's enough to drive you mad.
But still you wait
hoping you won't be left cold.

It's almost like dying
and then being reborn
only to die again.

And so we sit here waiting
with only our fairy-tale dreams
to keep us going.

"I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless ligt,
All calm as it was bright,
And round beneath it, Time, in hours, days years,
Driven by the spheres,
Like a vast shadow moved, in which the world
And all her train were hurled."

- "A Ring of Endless Light" By Madeleine L'Engle
