Moon Monk

As lovers try to find true love 
Their past is left in the dark 
They only know for certain 
Life’s meaningless without a spark. 

While others happily roam alone 
The path wide enough for all
Seemingly flows for evermore 
So why often do we stall? 

Most believing life’s its own reward 
Watching the few who patiently wait
Confusing the masses who observe 
Comes a monk explaining fate. 

Do we listen or ignore his words?
Few and simple they appear to be 
why do our minds refuse to accept?
For his ways shall set us free. 

Our troubled days full of darkness 
With his answers we gain sight 
But our eyes still clouded over
As he sits in omnipresent light.

Whilst we fight against the fog
In order to keep our control 
Motionless he sits and waits
Radiating his enlightened soul.
