Ulladu Narpadu Addendum 161

An arrow shot cannot be retracted,
so it would appear we must suffer fate
but impacted not by light refracted,
the hermit is calm in stillness sedate,
knowing that in time ripples will abate.
No target is offered by empty space,
where all that exists, is love, light and grace,
so if we be as such, we are immune,
living out our life at an easy pace,
deeming dance of destiny as jejune.
