What the Truth is Now

What the truth is now, I cannot say
It seems to change without excuse or
blame, till all life's folly reveals the games
we play with each other.

Yesterday has gone and with it every song
that lightened those minutes and hours
with grateful prayers and expectations.
It creates a wave of longing for who we
were and have already been.

I find myself inadequate to explain
the consternation and the pain that
changes things as quickly as they begin,
so I just stop thinking and let it happen as
it may.

Is there really continuity in anything?
Can we plan for a day of rest and
recuperation, that drives away the tears
just for the sake of life and laughter?
Does anything really matter?

I see in myself a paradox of mysteries that
blossoms up into the sky and comes down
again into earthen depth devoid of
understanding, no matter how I try to make
them fit together. So I give up and let it go.


Go ahead and take this legacy of miscalculation
and disregard, turn it upon itself to find the other side.
No longer hide or find a place of retreat
from the warmth of sun and summer days, just
enjoy them. It's so simple as to amaze, from the
most naive to the sophisticated souls,
its all the same.

We'll never know it all, no one ever has
or ever will except God, So give up,
let it happen as it may because today will
soon be gone and take its rightful place in
history. We only have right now, you know.

A Heart is broken and soon restored.The
secret is not in this but in what we choose to
fulfill. Place it in a new and eternal vessel not
made in this realm of fear and like a pearl from
the clams wound it will sustain you from now on.
