Wheel of life (II)
pain is the name


There is rise and there is fall
There is silence and there is call
Who can tell what is best, what is worst?
Who can foretell, where the heaven,
where the hell?

We know
That we don’t know
that much
we know
If we dare to know

What - then - to hold on to?
Which way to go?
Ecstasy,
or sorrow?

The greedy grabs ahead
To hunt the pleasure
The wise one contemplate,
embrace sorrow
kisses on the chain
Acknowledge the lost
to meet the gain
pain
is the name
