Purpose
Made separate from One with a colourful burst
at the beginning of creation.
Set forth to travel through time and through space
for study and recreation.
Tasting the bitter as well as the sweet
for without both there’s no comprehension.
Learning to travel the medium strip
to avoid unwanted tensions.
Endlessly seeking harmonious joining
with others of similar vibe
in an unconscious wanting, an inherited yearning
to resume the ancestral site.
But we left the garden to gain our adulthood.
To attain our coming of age.
And once acknowledged in the Book of Life
we’re entrusted to write on each page.
Our job’s to seek knowledge, and with know-how and wisdom
to master our own energy.
To steer our souls in the path chosen for them
by the one who knows better than we.
Until then we wander our separate ways
as we each chase our own destinies.
And we’ll all meet again at the end of this legend
holding fresh books for new histories.
