Big boys toys

Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
The genie granted three wishes
Yet our heart aimlessly drifted
Weary at doing the dishes 

Hall of mirrors made heart shiver 
Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
Soul thanked not God, Who’s the giver
Till erst dark desires were sifted

With veil of delusion lifted 
Though soul was free, ego was bound
Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
In silence, peace within was found

We let lust die that soul may fly
Bliss bestowed, we’re truly gifted
Why’d we regret moments gone by
Horizons blurred, goalposts shifted
