To tell it so
I waited outside for the rain
and it came but it found
my ground only too late and shook its coat anyway
and it all feels Ecclesiastes

Koheleth
I believed in you
and I believe in you still
I won't move, I'll wait on my reliable
I'll rest in my Koheleth until I die

And when some look within
It weighs them down
It takes them down to the ground
and lower still, but here I know
and I always will

Koheleth
I waited for you even when you were here
reached after you when you passed by
Only you know
Only you can make it feel like life

because here I know
This is the only place in all the world
where I can see heaven
That is, until I'm there
Until I'm there

Koheleth
keeps boiling me away
Even the soul lies while the spirit keeps fast
The stars make the night my friend
and I'll rest in my Koheleth until I die
Can't remember exactly when I got this one down. My thoughts on Ecclesiastes as it is in life, I suppose?

Have I read that before? It seems vaguely familiar.... but anyway. I was fond of it then, too. If I actually read it before. If not, maybe it's just because I dare say I've thought the same things.

Hmm.
