Game of Chance

"God doesn't play dice with the universe"  - Albert Einestein

     Has someone stacked the deck?
        Our cards aren't coming up!
War here - tensions everywhere
      The seeds of destruction 
are being sown
       Is there a pattern to this madness?
       Or is it just a game of chance?
              Where the cards show us 
nothing but "boredom and despair"
         the small castles we build by the sea
are soon washed away
       by the oncoming tide
   Nature seems to be a gambler
Later -  at night
We look up at the Big Dipper
              feel a sense of wonder about exsistence
A warm breeze blowing 
    from the west
Life is beautiful - at times
