Love & Similar States Of Insanity

SHOULD IT BE SO (A PSALM)

Should it be so that life is God to you
and you are God to it.
Should it be so that you stand in Understanding
and not succumb to the degradation of hedonism.
Should it be so that the tears you raise are in Bliss,
and not in the sorrow of a requiem
that is the hallmark of those who will never know what it is.
Should it be so that see your Soul
in the eyes of your children
and in all the Beauty that surrounds you
and so naturally flows from within.
Should it be so that you are never lonely
and come to find that in solitude there in Purity;
that sometimes being alone
is not only plenty but necessary
to learn to know and Love yourself
at least as much as the company you keep.
Should it be so that the Truth inspires you
to do many great things, but mostly to have the Courage
to pursue it to its pious end.
Should it be so that you come to know
that time is linear but Life has depth;
that lines can lie, but can neither contain nor sufficiently descirbe
the inexplicably simplicity of true Contentment.
Should it be so that you realize that Mind in all ways
takes precedent over matter,
and that's all that really matters ultimately.
Should it be so that you quickly grasp
that a life without Principals is empty in deed;
that the Music you make mirrors the Spirit
that sets up apart and makes you unique.
And should it be so that you will one day know
that I’ve always loved you as much as my being...
Should it be so, and so shall it be.
