i have tried to be miserable and troubled
i have tried to believe
what people are saying and thinking
that the world has gone mad
and we are all doomed
but the truth is…
only my return to causeless joy
can meet the dawn sun
with a welcoming heart
some may think
it is easy to hate and fear
but it is not true.
it is a hard path, it is suffering itself
and it creates only misery
why offer more pain
to the world?
why not rest
in causeless joy
and smile and laugh
and love
with great abandon
even as we burn?
