Questions

We ask
The world replies
Yes or no
Acquiesce
Or repeat
 
Life is simple like that
 
No answer
Wrong question
Rephrase
Listen
Opposition
Is opposites
Do we see both sides
 
To always be right
Is to be God
To always be learning
Is to be a disciple
One can discipline one's self
In right ways or wrong
Ways change
But there is always right or wrong
Here many are lost in the way
 
What do you see
What you are shown
Or what you dream
You see as you believe
Your beliefs are your world
Your freedom
And your bounds
 
Believe as you wish
So will another
So will others
Who then has power
The many or the few
Truth is still truth
If only one believes
 
We are always alone
No one else knows  
Our deepest thoughts
Our inner hearts
Our secret dreams
Seek solitude
To commune with you
To commune with nature
To commune with the spirit
Listen
Answers will come
You're never alone
Even when you're alone
 
Are you rich or are you poor
What is need
And what is want
What is enough
And what is always more
Is it wise to fast
Is fasting only food
 
Is it good to lose wealth
Lose success
Lose power
Is it good to lose poverty
Loss adversity
Lose hopelessness
 
We sway between too much and too little
On life's fulcrum
The secret in mastering the motion
Lies in finding the balance
Balance is neither  
Rich nor poor
Too little or too much
Balance is harmony
 
Learn to breathe
Learn to be where you are
Live in the moment
Live without regrets
You can't rework yesterday
Or work yet tomorrow
Live kindness
 
Share
Mentor
Nurture
And love
 
As you give you shall receive
In the balance of time
Allow time its works
As you do yours
 
In anguish
Cry out
Shed tears
Mourn
In joy
Praise
Shed tears
Rejoice
 
In all things tears cleanse
That we might see the clearer
 
The sun sets
The sun also rises
Live for the new day
And your life shall be born anew
