Life and truth

Gone is the long day, filled with how and why Between the morning mist and evening breeze Fatigue oozing out, time to merge with myself Life is a hot pursuit blended with cool delight One’s sweat and sloth sail the life’s ship Like a divine chariot with wheels of will labor tinged with leisure complete the trip Driving on bumpy roads with joy and thrill Not all that one desires will ever one obtain Only the option and choice make one’s domain The sky and earth may appear one at the edge One cannot get both parted by eternal wedge One in the crowd may make the difference Solitary voice may be louder than many That which comes from the heart with purity May be dearer than the chorus of many a phony Many things lost, many things gained Gain brought pleasure, loss gave pain Though pleasure and pain filled the life The creative cauldron remained vain
