Analysis of Reality

with wisdom we wrestle with right & wrong
    the nature of a blessing in disguise

in our garden is where we belong
    but cannot return until we realize

the light that we seek comes not from the sun
    divine illumination is the source

compassion and goodness we often shun
    building darkness into a greater force

who among us talks with God all the time
    appreciating each moment with love?

for that is the ladder that we must climb
    and permeate peace with heaven above
