life – Page 24 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Losing Now

Tomorrow’s calling
Trying to dance with the fog
Emptiness embraced

The light awakens
Dawn drives us briskly forwards
Amongst the living

Sit, waiting for God,
Grasping tranquility’s joy.
Peacefulness transcends.

The world existing
Entrenched brutality deep
Sunlight clears the fog

Fear motivates,
Drives us mad,
Greed, envy, despair:
And we know not how to resist.

Cold sunlight flowing
Burning deeply to my core
Freeing from despair

Living is movement,
An obscured destination
Lights within darkness

One cannot exist
Upon the empty promise
Of cynicism

I see the hornet
Intense animosity
Trapped within the Tao

To find life’s balance
Continually adjust;
It’s always changing
