Mosaic

I’m always asking questions,

seeking to know much more,
wanting to know for sure
that I am on the highest road.
Is this latest episode
playing out as it was drawn?
Or am I just a pawn
in other stories being told
while my own is put on hold?

We star in our own series,
yet they are intertwined — 
lessons of life aligned
to synthesize divergent plots.
Higher visions call the shots
since the input they supply
assures a wiser eye
is overseeing every move,
even when we disapprove.

With questions never-ending,
ego is oft confused,
feeling that it’s been used
in reaching ends kept out of sight.
Longings are the dynamite
that were put in place by Soul
so that which serves the Whole
attracts each player to his part.
The result is living art!

Our lives form a Mosaic;
disparate paths relate,
merging to illustrate
a beauty shaped by every one.
Earthly yens by Spirit spun
yield a texture, form, and hue,
which won’t come into view
until we rise above the bounds
that, the human mind, confounds.

A single life exhibits
part of Divinity
cast from infinity,
and all are equal, each required.
Light and dark are both desired,
and the textures must contrast.
What’s born is unsurpassed!
As every aspect is expressed,
Source’s love is manifest.
