Karma

We reap what we sow
but that is not concrete defined. 
Karma is a spiritual law
That should not keep us confined. 

Its how we choose to live our lives
and the affect we have on others.
Sometimes goodness comes of it
When you entwine yourself with brothers. 

Forget the past sins that you've made
Forgive your heart and wipe clean
Start anew on any day
Create a brand new scene.

We sometimes keep our real soul
locked tight inside our brain.
Afraid to take a chance when
we might be labeled lame.

Yet nothing is lame or silly or dumb
If your true to your heart.
I don't believe in coincidences 
Its fate that plays the lead part. 

Do we ever take the time to sit
peaceful in the quiet.
Instead of running overtime
with no thought of desire.

We push our sensitivity aside
to block all hurt
Instead we wind up
acting more divert.

This routine snowballs larger
till we are in over our heads.
We need to defrost the cold
And open our wings to spread

Turn up the heat
Feel for a change
Take old painful situations
Turn it into a joyful range.

It might sound a tad bit hard
But try and open your mind
Listen to your heart instead
Enjoy and walk refined.
