More and more, I seem to see
Both sides of the question(s).
More and more, the philosophical, the mystical, the social;
Plain old brain in second place
Pain and beauty taking first.
Tears taking unpredicted space;
Sensitivity, appreciation on the surface
Coming through common senses.
Acceptance of man’s nature,
Nature’s nature too.
Thus, what to do?
Follow my own nature, surely.
Whatsoever destiny floats my way.
Whatever can one do or say?
Accept – whose welcoming is hardest.
Yes, acceptance is the smartest.
Theories, philosophies
Backbone of the human race,
All true on the levels basic,
There for each to face it,
Use, construe
According to approval,
Cavilling, unraveling…
i, no a fan of ‘good and evil’
But ‘survival’ and its opposite;
Virtue, with its benefits
Vis á vis the vices with their detriments,
I, rational and yet
It doesn’t seem enough…not quite.
Hope, trust, kindness seem best
Of all wisdom’s reactions
Worth the ruminating, contemplating,
Meditate/deliberating
After, in and on the All.
