Life, you, cause and consequence
----------------------------------------

The world is perfect, every act here, there, everywhere, is perfect they say,
Everything on time, choices, causes, its consequences pave the way!
Life talks, walks a constant truth - not one's life is naught,
But winning is best won swimming with the tide, else it is merely a life well fought!

It is one life, a simple one, yours or mine, life is like a straight line,
Just see straight, do the right things, the rest will conspire to align!
Abandon the rat race, murder the ego's desires, begin afresh and anew,
The pursuit of happiness, this lucid deciphering belong to a very few!

Wake up; feel a spring in your walk and a smile on your lips,
Bask in the sunshine, have time to watch the dew on tulips!
Feel alive, fully present to all you do, do that kindles your passion,
Feel within, a placid calm – your inner being brimmed to elation!

Watch your days - yesterday, tomorrow, today,
What you fill them with is what eventually makes your hay!
Do what you must, even if things go or do not go your way,
Inch by inch, day by day, move; just do not let your focus sway!

Life is the same always - perfect, punctual, in a brilliant balance,
Thought, word, action – each that we own is cause to consequence!
A focus to thy heart’s vision, helps tide, glide over human frailties,
Re-align constantly – bring forth your new possibilities!

Be true to your latent genius, scorch away the meaningless past,
Succeed, or perish trying to, care not anymore if you are outcast!
It is your life! You do and live as you choose. Pursue your happiness,
By merely aligning you, your everything to that big Oneness!
