There Is A Reason

Beyond the corridors of my mind Out there in the far reaches of consciousness Tucked inside the envelope of mystery There is a reason for the brutal disruption of life Death allowed to penetrate deep into the territory of the heart To pierce the substance of being with such reckless force There is a reason beyond logic, outside the perimeter of human thoughts There is a reason for the flood of sorrow that defies logic and destroys the sense of hope Breaking down the solid entrance to our material comfort Soaking the well cushioned physical reality There is a reason for all the suffering But let this reason be outside us Let it inhabit the realm of mysteries Let no one cause unnecessary harm to oneself or others Let the reason for our suffering remain hidden Together, let's make life a beautiful oasis Where we can all drink without fear or favor Let the heart of Mankind be at peace Let our story be that of goodness, compassion and hope ©Kenneth Maswabi
