Who Knows

Who knows
Where we really come from
Or where we're going in time
All that matters is those of the heart

How much life can we live
How much love can we give
Whatever your best guess
Multiply it again and again

Learn from the Sun
Who shines without a moment's pause
He asks for nothing
And all life is his reward

Our capacity for the beauty of this world
Has not yet awakened
In our temple between temples
What will it take to understand

Study the Ocean
Who holds space for countless heartbeats
Never overwhelmed
Always fulfilled

If we cannot be grateful for it all
We will be left with none
Do not miss the opportunity herein
Or regret shall be all that remains

Listen to the Wind
Who breathes for a living
And by doing so
The rest of us may thrive

It's starting to make sense
Though the clutter still distracts
If only we were closer to nature
In presence and in spirit

Admire the Mountain
Who gives grounds for all creatures to stand
Without which
We would all fall

What do the elemental gods
Have to teach us about life
Maybe, it is to give oneself up fully
But who knows
