Cause and Consequence

A ,little rhyme of mine

Every soul a particle of

Consciousness. Feeling, thought.

Every particular soul is caught

On multitudinous winds

Of consequences,

Sought or unsought,

Flowing from points of choice.

Decisions made, prayers offered

Words spoken or typed and displayed

On screen or page.

Momentary actions ill considered,

Fleeting ardour, sexual obsession

or narcissistic rage.

Kind deeds, spontaneous compassion

Words of wisdom from a sage.

We are love incarnate.

Expressed through human hands.

Pure hearted?

Or perversely twisted?

Some choices designed to cause harm,

To beguile, confuse, exploit or charm.

About 8 or 9 billion of us now

So i’m told.

The weight of it all

Growing old…

When we speak of fate, soul contracts,

Or destinies predetermined by God

Made manifest,

As well speak of Phoenix feathers

Unicorn horns or fairy dust.

It’s fine to believe in these if you must.

I certainly don’t rule anything out

For surely that Prime Cause knows

What this is all about.

Yet I suspect these notions let me and you

Off life’s hooks a little

too easy.

For now those winds of cause and consequence

Blow more than a little

too breezy!
