NO WAY

Like wafts of sorrow
Interrupting the day
The Earth is shaking
This can't be THE WAY

How can light deliver darkness
To one who walks in TRUTH
Why would WISDOM
Clothe LOVE in grief since youth

The journey seems...paradoxical
Trying to make peace with chaos
In a constant state of restoration
Building materials taken from all loss

The fight is fading out of matter
The loosh has no energy to take
Fear perishes in the presence
Of what LOVE has never declared...MISTAKE

...all is as it should be
