Paid In Full

Destiny allayed 

How much karma must be paid

For all debts abade.

Ten or twenty years

Spilling of many more tears

Living daily fears.

So many lifetimes

Paying back all our past crimes 

Balance sheet aligns.

Peaceful life ensues 

Happiness in all we do

Follow our hearts, true.

Journey so vast, to

freedom from a horrid past 

Gratitude at last…

All Work and No Play…

People work themselves to death

Never ending daily grind

Tasking each and everything

Lest falling far behind in a major bind.

Starts at fifteen or sixteen

In their youth, little regard

Seeking out the greatest time

Not quite the effort for working very hard.

Time flies and the years rush by

Laziness will not abide

Learn the value of money

Then accomplishments, the wealth of healthy pride.

Scales now tipped another way

Work becomes out everything

As we mature we work hard

Security and prosperity, now king.

Those two extremes in our lives

Balance needed that’s the truth

Work and play must coexist

As my life and lessons, are the living proof…
