Paradox

Misfortune and good fortune refer to loss and gain,
Humiliation and elation we think are joy and pain.

So someone seems, to lose or win,
and someone seems, to rise or sin.
Because the Paradox is there,
illusion haunts us everywhere.

“Over spilt milk, don’t you weep, Just look before you leap,
Yet he who hesitates is lost, buyer beware, look out the cost!”

So Paradox is paradigm of you and yours,
and me and mine
And everything we do and say,
from One appears a funny play.

Yes, the Moving Finger writes, and the ego jumps and skites,
Creation is there to please, the Watcher, is the One, who sees

That we’re walking down a pathway
That leads us up to Light
We are learning of our real Self
That was with us through the night.

So, don’t look at me in half-light,
as friend or foe or brother,
but look inside, God cannot hide,
you’ll see there is no other.
