Something we often forget
To read and learn from, to grow with,
To love and cherish,
The world is a book, a most important
One, beyond biblical stories,
Or spiritual bedlams’
Darkening our minds to never
Care to continue the saga
That’s the book of life,
If the world were a book
Read with care—the characters
The cast that collectively is
It’s heart, the world
The home that is our   Nature.
Is this a ****** mystery?
Tragedy or poetry?
What’s a good word ... beyond you and me
Beyond fear and love
What doth the truth mean
Without or within   Us?

The world is a book of strangers
And spiritual bedlam.
