Life As A Dream
I drove by
An Episcopelian church today
My therapist was
Was an Episcopelian
Shame
I don't belong to
A church
Here I sit
I have returned
To the college
From which
I received
My degree
That was in 2008
And what has changed
In America
Since that time
America is now
In more economic trouble
America is now
More susceptible
To terrorist attacks
Than ever before
The sunset
Was beautiful
It had been quite some time
Since I had seen
The sunset
She teaches here
The one
Who must not
Be named
It wasn't a good idea
To become friends
Sure, her client
But I feel like
I became her friend
I hope she considers
Me her friend
I think she does
Well I write to you
And to her
Not much has changed
For me
They still call out
The order numbers
Just as they did
In this cafeteria
Some eight years ago
And it's hard
The isolation
The loneliness
It was important to me
Meeting once a week
She told me about hope
I have hope
She's a Christian
Like me
I remember
The build a bear
Lol
Those times
Are not lost to me
I remember
Her kindness
And her warmth
And that office
Where has the time gone
Where does it go
I am a stranger
In this world
Where have
The people gone Liz?
I am kind
I am loving
I am noble
I am honest
I am good
I have read
Many great thinkers
I have travelled the world
Through YouTube
I know many things
I cared about you
Well
I'm going to order now
Here I am
At my Alma mater
Some dream
It will not always be easy
My fellow Americans
One day life
Will become even
More difficult
