Inevitable Karmatic Slaps

Inevitable Karmatic Slaps

My karma has been tested

Time and again

I often wonder

What I did before

For so much to befall me

In this lifetime

I exist

Between fire and ice

I waver between them

Fluctuating randomly

My world has been torn down

And rebuilt countless times

I wonder what I do wrong

That the Divine keeps

Challenging me thus

Am I so prone to sleep

That I must be awakened 

So often

Am I so dumb

That I must learn

The same lessons repeatedly

What do I keep missing 

That I get whacked 

In the head so often

I drown in uncertainty

I wallow in insecurity

I long for wisdom

And calm in my life

Yet that Divine hand

Inevitably slaps me awake

Whenever complacency settles in 

Dreams are hard to come by

When one is not allowed to rest

Restlessness is not 

A creative state

Of existence

So I must find the center

Between the fire and ice

To focus my existence

On the narrow center

And accept more

What the sisters weave

Especially for me
