Lifes Mysteries

Lessons taught on whispered song, played before we see

In the moments we now yearn, standing on the path

Found within to tag along, brought of echoed plea

Every corner, every turn, every aftermath

Signs appear as questions ask, what does this all mean


Mingling in a grand display, picture window’s glare 

Yet the never ending task, smudges clear and clean

Sends our spirits on their way, hoping but to share

Till the time when all do meet, in a crowded place

Schedules fill the vast expanse, banners hanging high

Revel in this world so sweet, smiles upon our face

In your mind now take a chance, as it passes by

Everything you long to know, all that you desire

Soon before your eyes will show, mysteries inspire
