Greg Gaul Poet Rhyme

Can't Think It Through

Can't reason to enlightenment,
If you try, it's time misspent.

Can't depend on certainty,
You'll find in doubt security.

Heart and mind are intertwined,
If you're looking, you won't find.

The Buddhist life is contradictions,
That will test your convictions.

So on the path you may know,
Just remember to "let it go".
