The Spell
Life is a funny feint brief spell
With overtones of heaven and hell.
It is a fitful dance of doom without sufficient time or room
To think and speak and act or do all that which we aspire to.
They tell us when to stop and turn, what to say and what to learn,
Till we no longer can find our way based on what our feelings convey.
If we could only turn around and see the life that could be found
If we would listen to ourselves, instead of to their words pell mell.
Then we would know a different life
Of clarity instead of strife.
With overtones of heaven and hell.
It is a fitful dance of doom without sufficient time or room
To think and speak and act or do all that which we aspire to.
They tell us when to stop and turn, what to say and what to learn,
Till we no longer can find our way based on what our feelings convey.
If we could only turn around and see the life that could be found
If we would listen to ourselves, instead of to their words pell mell.
Then we would know a different life
Of clarity instead of strife.
