Mindfulness taught me

To try to live life

Aware of each moment

Free of judgment or strife

But lately my thoughts drift beyond waking breath

I find time better spent to be pondering death

But lately my thoughts

Drift beyond waking breath

I find time better spent

To be pondering death

What do we know?

What are the answers

A baby’s birth

A murderous cancer

Why should we care?

What should we do?

Is there something beyond

Just me and you?

Shakespeare, he wrote

Seven ages began

With the sputtering child

To the drooling old man

Yes, the world is a stage

And we all merely play

But as to what’s next

Even he couldn’t say

What do we know?

What are the answers

A baby’s birth

A murderous cancer

Why should we care?

What should we do?

Is there something beyond

Just me and you?

Always worshipped hellos

And avoided goodbyes

Crave the parting of lips

And the spreading of thighs

If it’s all an illusion

Fame, power, and wealth

I’ll cling to sensation

There may be nothing else

What do we know?

What are the answers

A baby’s birth

A murderous cancer

Why should we care?

What should we do?

Is there something beyond

Just me and you?

Yet, the more we discover

The more we unfold

The mysteries deepen

And have greater hold

We’re in love with the mystery

What might be out there

Stand shoulder to shoulder

Humbly searching the air

And I tune in the world

Every sound, taste and smell

From the tiniest insects

To the clamorous bells

Everything comes together

Like a deep ocean blue

If life is sensation

Perhaps death is too

What do we know?

What are the answers

A baby’s birth

A murderous cancer

Why should we care?

What should we do?

Is there something beyond

Just me and you?
