Take a Chance

TAKE A CHANCE

Life!
And a chance to love
Every mountain    meadow
                               and field beckons
                      every earth-bound thing stirring
Well then?    LOVE!

The inconstant mind will disagree
       will crawl every corner of existence
Hah!    That slab of meat will - computer-like -
                                store every confuting demon
Weighing
Condemning
Praising
Supporting
Confusing    in a whirl!
(oh, to just die)

But close your eyes
Life!
The Life-Giver!
Always present
Always with ‘that still    small voice’   will tell
“Here are no inconsistencies
Just love”
