Boomerang -Karma

The spoken words that are sown
  Returns on karmic winds blown
Gathering the dark clouds we try to disown
 It can  bring us   a gentle rain
Or roar like a thunderstorm without restrain

The actions we take will come again
 Perhaps returning with the fury of a hurricane
Depending on the thoughts we planted
We may forevermore be haunted

A boomerang thrown in the spiritual universe
Will return to reimburse
Perhaps with a blessing or a curse
Things can go from bad to worse

Life is an equation containing our words and thoughts
And variable actions upon which we reflect
The equation is balanced, the answer is sought
Using the universal law of cause and effect
