" WISDOM OF THE COSMOS " (re-write in progress)

When you feel the desire for eternal happiness to take hold
Of you from above
And when you long to be free of your body's confusions
Over Love
Open wide your heart and fiercely accept
It's inspiration
Offer your most heartfelt thanks just for
The consideration
From the wisdom of the cosmos
For when you gaze into the sky, is it not apparent
That the heavens have a lesson for our hungry minds
In their alignment, bringing to those
Who dare consider
The divine goodness in all that matters
The way it teaches time
The way it treats you, so generously, so robustly
And mightily raises you up, into it's wisdom
The place where stars are born, and what do we
Give them
A reflection of ourselves, our purest hopes, our
Dreams of Love
Our words in poetry, trying to return what they
Have already given us
And so I pray to understand
The man that I am, and how I fit into
All of this, these many  gifts
That are
The wisdom
Of the COSMOS.....
