Answers at Hand

The quest of man 											
since dawn’s first breath,										
to solve the riddles 											
of life and death. 
																								Man’s mercurial mission 										
to reveal unattainable wisdom, 									
a doomed crusade, 											
a selfish mission.	

You see the answers are all there, 									
but not for us yet											
forcing the issue 											
will bring unfortunate regret.

As nature is one,											
 a unity within, 												
winds glide softly, 										
through what has always been.
																							It may be this oneness											
 that allows resolve											
because there is nothing 										
that needs to be solved.									

There is a natural order 										
with or without man											
The cosmos has no questions, 										
simply all answers at hand.
