The Mystic Has Reasons
Are there secret delights that delight as we live?
The Psyche has insights
that insights cannot give.
Are there tempting allures that luring seeks to vend?
The being has stirrings
that stirrings cannot mend.
Are there dreams awaking that we dream wide awake?
The spirit has makings
that makings cannot break.
Are there good enhancers that enhance good as well?
The question has answers
that answers cannot tell.
Are there fruitful seasons that season as we grow?
The Mystic has reasons
that reasons cannot know.
