if i should live . . .

[Bill]

if i should live . . .

if i should live a thousand lifetimes
a million more may come
for endless seems the journey
where we will know our sum

i’ve journeyed through the meadows
the mountains and the wood
seeking soulful answers
and gathering what i could

and through the paths i’ve traveled
the goodness is abound
discovering life’s fragrance
in the silence within sound

what i’ve come to understand
in life’s indelible sweet embrace
all the things i wish to know
are found in every space

so . . .

if i should live a thousand lifetimes
a million more may come
for endless seems the journey
where we will know our sum

for . . .

the joy is in the journey
and the way we choose to go
the divine is like the river
and to the Ocean we must flow

if i should live . . .

as we overcome . . .if we are to look at things with a finite and temporal eye, yes it is hard to see joy in this . . . but beyond the limitations, it is the things the Soul learns as it evolves through suffering . . . .
There is not much comfort i can offer in words, but know that all souls have had to suffer at one time or another in the eternal landscapes . . . it is suffering that provides liberation . . .
