Life and truth

Gone is the long day, filled with how and why
Between the morning mist and evening breeze
Fatigue oozing out, time to merge with myself
Life is a hot pursuit blended with cool delight

                            One’s sweat and sloth sail the life’s ship
                            Like a divine chariot with wheels of will
                          labor tinged with leisure complete the trip
                          Driving on bumpy roads with joy and thrill

                         Not all that one desires will ever one obtain
                       Only the option and choice make one’s domain
                       The sky and earth may appear one at the edge
                        One cannot get both parted by eternal wedge

                          One in the crowd may make the difference
                            Solitary voice may be louder than many
                        That which comes from the heart with purity
                      May be dearer  than the chorus of many a phony

                              Many things lost, many things gained
                              Gain brought pleasure, loss gave pain 
                              Though pleasure and pain filled the life 
                                The creative cauldron remained vain
