Wandering down a lush tree-lined grove,
\n<\/font>Wondering at the magic of the change of season \u2013
\nSummer, heating up life in its stove
\nWinter, preserving, cooling, making way for reason – <\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rash thought, sanguine reason, all collide
\n<\/font>Mixed in with birdsong and teeming life surrounding all
\nThis world, this society, this life, all so satisfied
\nAnd yet subject to instant separation \u2013 is there not a cure-all?<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sweet words, harsh beliefs, deliberate signs,
\n<\/font>War and death, walking hand in hand with peace and the new-born
\nLife in a microcosm – a garden in bloom \u2013 it all aligns
\nThe miracle of existense \u2013 the wonder of each new morn.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Philosophers come and go, explaining this quandary,
\n<\/font>The ordinary everyday human have their explanations too
\nNo one, no exception, has scratched the surface but barely
\nWhat to believe, what to pursue?<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An hour holds, in its fold, more magic, more discovery
\n<\/font>Than a mind can unfold in an eternity
\nEach minute, full of mystery, yet so airy
\nA repeated moment, a repeated story \u2013 life\u2019s ditty!<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moral? Right? Correct? Applicable? Nah – that is more
\n<\/font>Than this world can make me hold \u2013 I survive
\nEach moment, my experience is my oar
\nAs I navigate time, each moment, my aim \u2013 stay alive!<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If answers I sought, it was to generate the question next
\nTangled threads are so much more pleasureable than organized spools
\nConfusion that leads to clarity, and allows for missed context
\nOpens more vistas than a life of rules.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Walk now so we may run tomorrow,
\nKnowing not if the run is in a bog or meadow
\nFocussed on the run, do not give the bog a deathblow
\nFor what the minds seeks, may be in neither, but the credo<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you, dear traveller, for joining my tail-chase,
\nA shared moment, a life no longer in vain-
\nThis glory, the spotlight \u2013 now in your showcase
\nEach moment, a new wonder \u2013 and a new coxswain!
