Premiere Contest WinnerThere Are Times

There are times where it seems
as if we're characters in God's dream
That time is an artificial construct
And things happen by chance or dumb luck

There are times where I'm aghast
Where the future and past have no contrast
And life feels like a rude fantasy
Draped with a sham reality so scantily

There are times where I can only say
Thank you God for this peculiar buffet
Full of indescribable chaos and delight
On which only You have the copyright

Trey, I like this poem a ton. May not believe exactly the same things as you do, but do think it's good to be able to find delight in there with all the craziness. Cheers, Doug.
