The World

The mind seeks the otherworldly

What it leaves behind is so lovely

The world, it isn’t bitter or sweet

Two flavors, in the mind we meet

The mind is a world apart

It’s taken a head start

Leaving behind the present

Finding it again is time well spent

There is much to discover

The work isn’t meant for us to suffer

It’s lit with beautiful scenes

Light doesn’t depend on our means

There is time, it’s been won

Why let it wilt under the sun?

Instead, peruse the joys of this world

It’s ours, our time here is earned
