Karmic Ties

Earth’s ride is short and bitter-sweet
Each role is played until complete
Time and again each life is born
Twined together with love and scorn
Deception soaked in a pool of emotion
True self cloaked with human notions
Lessons learned lessons failed
Karmic ties are deeply veiled
Layers of attachments that remain
Virtue and vice is all that’s gained
 Light and darkness in a maze
A thread of hope will diminish the haze
Truth, compassion and tolerance shine
A golden light to help one find
The way back home, the true wealth
Unveil the nature of true-self
