Art Of Being

Here I sit
Trying to comprehend
What is it
While all around
The right-side up is
Upside down
This irony
Is not lost on me
I can't explain
God's mystery

In this dream
I am one
With everything
But separation
Bangs a
Dissonant drum
It rings and chimes
Echoes in my mind
This noise
I can't avoid
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human

We are not apart
Close your eyes
And breathe
Visualize your heart
Glowing

Love and hate
Like rain and a
Sunshiny day
Suffering and bliss
Yes, I am all
Of this
A smile, a frown, a
Monster and a clown
This paradox
It is God's box
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human being

It's the art of being...
