Completely Useless

Leashes without dogs to lead around the corner Fires without logs igniting dancing flames Broiling days less sandcastles at the beach Rainy days without umbrellas tucked under our arm All completely useless The front porch rocking chairs waiting as undone work overwhelms our half open eyes We can't watch the kids play today It seems so completely useless The vacuum cleans the floor, two days from now, Dust will invade, we do it again The ultimate in completely useless Needing the enemy disguising itself as sleep, our confusion names it the magnificent time waster, Stop hogging the covers! It is completely useless Day to day struggles infecting our minds Hiding in stolen moments of glory Our intelligence screaming Dwelling on our pain achieving self-destruction, we stop... Committing to faith our chin to chest in heaving sobs We give ourselves to God's mercy Knowing anything else to be completely useless
