To Get, We Give


To Get, We Give
by Scot Lee

to get we give
to give we receive
to exist we perish
to perish we are born        believe?

existence is absence
no thing is in essence
no blessing is in harmony
no sorrow is not joy

beyond is not tomorrow
before not today
depth is not the aura
light is not the way

the song is not the reverie
the sound is not the sight
the purpose is beyond
the reason, that we might
