Lessons are parting gifts
Cushioning goodbyes
Karma stings when we think
We're clever enough to lie.
It's never one sided
Three dimensions stand in line
Life is an illusion
Graphically designed.
Nobody is a master
All of us encounter loss
You'll learn as the years go by
You are always your own boss
It is never a puzzle
Or a maze to understand
Often its a clumsy dance
When holding someones hand.
If life is a journey
There are pauses in between
Pop up quizzes of sorts
To see if you know what it means.
Repercussions are real
And karma has working legs
You'll realize you're in too deep
When all you can do is beg
Live in such a way
That your eulogy is a song
And your ending makes them wonder
What did you know all along?
