contemplating things above

On top of the dune sits a wise man
   watching the clouds drift on
contemplating the matters of this world
   as if of another one.

He’s not detached, exactly…he’s
   part of the human throng,
but he finds his meaning in heavenly realms
  and not in the “sturm und drang.”

 Life is full of twists and turns
   and seems to have gone so wrong,
but the wise man sits on top of the hill
   and sings a hopeful song.

   a hymn of praise to our God.”   Psalm 40:3
