The Relentless Dance of Karma
Karma, like a cosmic law, knows its part,
In the intricate dance of human heart and mind.
A relentless force, impartial in its scheme,
No deity's hand, just life's intricate stream.
Actions, the brushstrokes on life's vibrant chart,
Consequences unfurl, from the depths of the heart.
No divine grace, no supernatural weave,
But choices that mold what we believe.
Temporary gains, a glimmer in the dark,
Yet, the ledger of karma leaves a vivid mark.
Unraveling the tapestry of cause and pain,
Revealing the patterns of our actions' disdain.
Guilt and shame, like shadows we wear like a mask,
In karma's mirror, a relentless ask.
No innocence feigned, as justice slowly weaves,
Unmasking the lies, in which we deceive.
Running from the past, we may try to depart,
Yet karma pursues, a relentless art.
Responsibility shunned, faults laid to waste,
Karma's relentless assault, we must face.
Hoping for mercy, we humbly beseech,
But betrayed hearts, lessons it will teach.
Change and improvement, we sincerely aim,
But the stains of our sins, we cannot claim.
A second chance wished, a chance to restart,
Yet, those who moved on, found strength in their heart.
Dreaming of a peaceful life, a tranquil place,
Karma's grip holds tight, leaving its trace.
Yearning for a friend, a bond that won't depart,
But deceit leaves friendships torn apart.
Craving for love, for a loyal mate,
Karma condemns us to this lonely state.
A happy family, once embraced with grace,
Choices made, now leave an empty space.
Desiring existence with meaning and face,
Karma reveals the truth we must embrace.
Karma strikes back, its impact severe,
For those who betray, its message is clear.
Trauma may heal, but scars remain,
A testament to karma's enduring reign.
Lessons learned, from our actions unkind,
Karma's boomerang leaves no one behind.
No escape from the web we've spun,
In the end, karma reveals what's done.
