Coming and Going

Being is becoming
Coming is going
Going is being

Start is dawning
Dawning is living
Living is dying

End is dusking
Dusking is dying
Dying is living

Style is smiling
Smiling is crying
Crying is styling

Listen to the wind
Winding down here
Here silence listens

Do with feeling
Feeling is knowing
Knowing is doing

Listen to stillness
Stillness creates all
All comes from a void

Act with knowing
Knowing feeds feeling
Feeling frees thinking

Coming is going
Going is coming
Actors on a stage

A voice calls
Calling you by choice
Choice stamps a poise

An ancient sway
Hints a message
Listen to your soul

Madness is gladness
Rapture in sadness
Gladness feels sad

Contrary ways link
Wholeness and parts
Feel upsets think

Be unafraid now
You will see light
At tunnel's end

Doubt all that's true
It's up to you
Go beyond fear

Observe and see
See beyond sight
Who sees who?

To live just die
To die just live
Live without ego

Seize paradox
Out-of-the-box
Soul hurls de-tox

Greet the unknown
Accept not knowing
Then you will feel faith

Faith is wonder
Wonder feeds wander
Wanderer is not lost

Hope sojourns
Wander near or far
Yet you end right here

Love anchors all
Uni-verse as one song
Mind-matter, heart and soul

Remember this
There is sure peace
In knowing bliss

To live well
Learn to die
Rise then a phoenix!

It is true that all who wander are not lost. You take the readers on a meandering journey, collecting wisdom, hope, faith, truth. Your words float like fine pollen through the air, touching all who wander with you.
