I once was open to the mystery
of how and why life happened to be
and then came love to make me then see
life’s just a game everyone plays.
There are no rules that govern me
but still the small print, free-will, you
see
and I throw the dice, gather the chips,
and bet I can overthrow my destiny.
But trust your heart, I surely think not
for heart is a-skewed by love’s honesty
that not now or ever will fit
into that box marked “self-centeredness”.
It is my life, it is, it is,
and yet without love it’s a travesty
of life’s ever abiding deep mystery
I came to know when open, you know.
But you don’t know, you’re closed to “the
know”
when ensconced in that damn awful box
but it’s not your fault; you’re a child, yes,
a child
of this great and expansive deep mystery
termed, of course, the Universe!
