karma

on one side it's reassurance,
on the other side it's trust.
on one side it's blossoming,
on the other, it's rust.

thanking every day for
the earth,
the sky,
the dust.
we do what we can,
until we do what we must.

on the one hand you are dying
every moment that you live.
another moment you are dying
to take less than you give.

one moment there's just crying
for the things you'd understand.
next moment you jump up smiling
and take karma by the hand!
