What do I find hard to bear?
It is to be anything but bare.
That's why I won't hold back a tear,
or come to feign a phony cheer.
My heart's open by reverent care
to the spirit of when and where.
So though my mind wanders about,
my soul dwells in the now and here.
I do obsess with hows and whys.
I fear no lows and seek no highs.
I live for all those hidden things
only a life of meaning brings.
As the cosmic web pulls on its strings,
my heart can hear the truths it sings,
and my journey's its faithful dance
because nothing is due to chance.
You see, What IS, it never lies!
It moves through our all hi and byes.
It's merely seen with inner eyes
and once it's held, the moment dies.
The ones who know this are the wise
The ones who ignore it are otherwise.
