Largely Irrelevant Do you remember the dreams you once had? Hopes for the future, and goals for your path? Do you remember the smile on his face, Now part of history, part of the past? Do you remember discoveries you made, Revelations and dreams, gone with the dawn? Do you remember the sweetness of love, Captured in writing, but all feeling gone? Do you remember the pleasure of waiting, The desire for more, mingled with fear? Do you remember how close God was, How when you whispered He would hear? But that’s largely irrelevant, In this day and age. Now we have schedules, timing to watch Days filled with meetings, each second counts Worry, anxiety, hurry all mingled All always present, in different amounts And dreams slowly fade, till all but forgotten, Relationships die from lack of attention. Hopes slip away in silence, rejected Wishes pass out of thought and of mention. And dreams are largely irrelevant. |
