Give and Take

Give and Take

for everything that is taken from you

there is something put in its space

even if it is an emptiness

to inscribe new life in its place

faces will come, faces will go

and some will choose to remain

be not daunted by the illusion

for in the stillness resides the sane

there have been many changes

but life its self marches on

gather the lesson that she provides

lament not nor be thou forlorned

for some things taken are blessings

that allows us to truly connect

to the universal laws of Growth and Love

we must do so without suspect

in the end all of life we experience

is about the Give and the Take

as the energy is constantly transmuting

we are blessed for goodness’ sake

so raise your consciousness, rise up

for the truth of life does call

look to thy horizon my child

and rise each time you fall

lessons come and lessons go

some take and some do give

for in the mix, the trials, the path

when we awaken, we know that we live

Give and Take
