Loving Our Very Existence

I'm the beginning of life

I am the end

I'm the mystery's wife

I am godsend

I am a guest of life

who cannot die

and I enjoy all of this

without knowing why

I'm the illusion of time

I'm in full bloom

I'm a river in rhyme

I flow from the womb

I have a path to climb

yet I am enough

and I'm truly amazed

that I'm all of this stuff

Here are the answers you seek

here is the soul

here there is hope for the weak

here you are whole

here is where you can now speak

here you'll be heard

here's the presence of prayer

without even a word

Where can I go from here

why would I try

where is the tender and dear

where is the sky

when is the moment most near

when is it not

how can what I want most

seem at some other spot

Now's the time for life's kiss

now is a sign

now is a season of bliss

now's a deep mine

now is a time that I'd miss

now is a pearl

now is patience and grit

in this best of all worlds

I'm the beginning of love

for which there's no end

I'm a singing sweet dove

I am your friend

it's from love I am made
as sweet as a child

I'm the hope you embrace

and I yearn to go wild

I'm the meaning of life

I let my heart rend

I abandon all strife

I'm on the mend

I'm the truth about life

that's hidden from view

I'm free now today

I know what to do

it's the beginning of life

beginning with you
