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…
