What shall we live for?

                                                                earthy pleasures here

                     or shall we seek to climb

                                                  that pathway

                                                                within

                                           that leads to

                                                    an ever unlocking

                                                                                          of You....

                    Secrets

                                   are found

                                                    in the most

                                                                         unforseen

                                                                                             places

                but the looking for

                               must be there,

satisfaction is such

                     a hungry enemy

                                      seeking to swallw you

                                                                  whole

                  have you drowsily

                                               content

                                                                 in has beens

                                                been there

                                                             done that

            but sleepily pulled back

                                           again to the same

                                                                       in a different dress

                                                          what a mess

                                                                             we have gotten ourselves

                                                                                                                into.

 

   Is there not something more

                                       says the fly to the frog

                                                                    lazily licking his tongue

                                                                                                          in the air.
