A World of Dreams and HealingA Poem by Arthur WeilThere are times when giants kneel and meditate and pray for fright or guidance We are not gods There is space and the unending universe Something far greater which supersedes all mankind
It’s time to show our truth Our feelings hurt Often unaware of what’s about Shootings, killings, war, and hate Divorce and accidents Unending " the forces beyond our control
So we ask for inner guidance Forgiveness for our wrongdoings “Give me the strength to cope, to wisely reason, to calm an inner spirit, for peace. God, there are so many things we have to maintain like an albatross around us”
What do I truly, really want today, tomorrow, or next year? To see my offspring happy and prosperous To learn to become a better person, a better traveler To be creative, yet not overuse the golden mean With both feet on the ground
Now late one thought fizzles into the next Like clouds in the sky changing forms I must leave this Go elsewhere, Settle and observe
I wait, my eyelids heavy as if alcohol or sleeping pill has become my master For now and after We are not omnipotent eternal powers We fade away, just like sundown into a world of dreams and healing
