It's all illusion But I still create and learn For I love it so Leaves die, winter's here Trees accept without anger Someday we will too Walking through the woods All this designed, or evolved? Who cares, it's pretty! Alone, or aren't we? Either way boggles the mind Looking up from Earth Rising in silence Bright moon glides across the sky Setting in silence All matter decays I still manifest and build Because I'm here now The brighter the light The more intense the shadow Good, evil, balanced I see the world But I don't know how to look Into my own eyes Empires rise and empires fall. Silently I'm watcher of all Let goodness shine forth! When you are a source of light You see no shadow Horses don't eat meat Nor do dogs eat hay, but still Both good animals Through my beloved I connect with the world My cup overflows The leaf I love falls. So next year the branch may grow. Two leaves in its place. You can not find God Reading or writing poems But it's fun to try!
