What I Dream;Yet What Must Be

I wept as I beheld the present in the past Shallow,hollow;an overflowing emptiness so vast My knowledge, 'consulted when I came to the now That to you, my endless love I did vow Now as my heart beseeks the future from the present I weep In grief and scorn so deep 'Cos you shall not be there. Indeed, like the past, u will disappear How awful it be to brood and sigh Stirring tomorrow in the face as night draws nigh With you an absent dream A sleepless lullaby, a mournful hymn A dream once begotten of virgin birth Yet did die in shame of an adulterous death All conceived in the eyes of the mind All perceived,only in sleep to find Never was,hence never shall be In reality Such futility of an untimely eternity
