The Balance Is a Mystery


The moment exists, and slips my grasp
today as it does on many------

as present bliss is lost in time 
that will not be detained, even if I resist the flow

some unseen force is moving through me
and I question if the current knows the stream------- 
or if consciousness can recognize living as it seems

is simple awareness reality and living just a dream?
or is the truth of being alive somewhere in between?

human born, we're born to see ----------

the balance is a mystery, 
a cosmic dance-----
Siva gettin' down, gettin' up, gettin' on, gettin' free!

destined for more than a meal and a mate
we must daily choose our fate and feel the power of the stream------

for we are carried, after all.

yet, its up to us to paddle and not to drift
for ultimate enlightenment
