Versatility Of Realism

Book Cover & Preview Text
Sweet Dreams
I dreamt about new residents
Houses upon a thousand hills;
Cattle's rich with milk,
Storage supplies full with honey.
Recollection of vandalism and fire arsons
Burnt bodies survived those catastrophes;
Then stances of sorness melts deep in memory.
Tears moisten my eyes -
I'll someday live in a brand new house.
Cloudburst pours with all of its glory;
Strides father Abraham with a hankie.
He wipes away old qualms -
We flow over the treetop into the white clouds
We'd approached many lustrous gates;
The heavenly choir sung worship praises,
Suddenly chains of burden broken liberally.
Could It Be Real
Could it be real,
The one I love,
Is the one who hates me?
Could it be real,
The one steps I'd follow,
Is the one who'd left me behind?
Could it be real,
The one I trust,
Is the one who'd stab me in the heart?
Could it be real,
The one hands I held,
Is the one who'd push me over the edge?
Could it be real,
The one I'd shared my dreams,
Becomes my worst nightmare?
Could it be real,
The one I'd pray for,
Be the one who curses me?
Could it be real,
The one I shelter,
Is the one who leave me,
Standing in the cold?
Could it be real,
The one I'd thought,
Very highly of leaves me,
With all of these unanswered questions?
