What For?

Excuse me, my life just became song Walk with me as I title this tune… Waking up now feels like noon. Bright, wow the light is strong How did I miss its presence, in full bloom? What for…? Let opposite this beauty interrupt? Now revealing all its glory In creeps dwelling on, before or after. Truth is keeping only the lessons Erases anything corrupt Choose… Not paying attention Or listen, closely to all things standing here before me. Senses can vary, here we go What for…? Choose to ride the waves or coast Either way, its mine to make This way you don’t pay for my mistakes. Since we are here together, let’s us know Lessons help the present, by not repeating Riding insane hastily; instead of slowing down. Having been here before… Here’s that anxiety again. What for…? That is usually when I cannot answer Why are you holding on to it for? That time has passed I don’t have to guess, I am aware Obstacles overcame to be here. Doubt instantly erased Standing here staring it in the face… Realizing I have no space For that drama, now… I’ve seen this mile, a time or two. Not the same person moving through. Using wits, knowledge, and faith from within What for? Cures every voice. Any sense brought to attention Two words end the question A perfect wake up call before any choice… Opens many doors What for? Chosen intertwined with those lessons. Turn all, into blessings. Good, bad, terrifying, joyous When put together they share a oneness Leading toward an equal powerful inquiry… Is this Love? -Namaste Symphony
