If I may ask Thee respectfully,

Why is it that we repeat the story?

The brain has such capacity to learn

Thee fact is there

For those aware

No more, cross to bear

Yet we ignore the simple redundancy

Playing out Cain and Abel continuously

Killing a brother

One way or another

Heedless of thee Mother

Through out history we repeat tragedy

Living now deeper in past mistakes

All the thug boors

And the drug wars,

And the decadence sores,

We have only changed their names.

Even these evils are not originals,

Oh- there are all too many more…

So return to beginning

Repent from sinning-

Now to experience winning.

positive from negative

at the very beginning...

honesty, loyalty, grace

Samurai first; foremost

Namaste the recipient

so,  was gifted Samurai

as they are to be Lovers

and We All wont to be

of the initial perfection

and in the final solution

Alas, Namaste burdened

so, shall forever carry on

a reciprocal gift, indeed

 

If  it  pleases  you then, I  will  consider:

the all, every thing,  great  and  small

and the gentle whispers or a big  bang

so when,  a  cog does  fail  the  watch

yet, time being eternal,  shall never stall

just as with a traveler  with  far  to  go...

and at  the very  time  of  His  returning

all of the tiny   grains  of  sand;  a  part

of the great mountains  touching  sky

the   intangible is oh,  most  prevalent

and that  which  looks  good;  is it so?

then,   if  it  pleases  you--  then, i  will

consider everything  great  and  small

 

it is so this is the life we live...

and all of the nights are long

with once a day for sunrise.

but, within that is held promise

an' surely, the repetition of hope

it comes with each waking hour

so, be thankful for the choices

an honest, accepting, willingness

yet, that all the nights are long

and only once a day for sunrise

but, within that is held promise...

an honest, accepting, willingness

in that is the repetition of hope.

is it worth each waking hour?

yes, be thankful for the choice.

as it is so, in this life we live...

honestly, accepting, willingly.
