| 'Angels Dancing Before the Sun' by Giovanni di Paolo di Grazia |
After I realized I was happy
For no particular reason
No lottery had I won
No screenplay had I sold
Just the planets of my life
Aligned in symbiotic symmetry
The needs of the body
The needs of the soul
The needs of a creative mind
Revolved in a harmonious dance
That I had at last learned.
A call at the end of the day
And the laugh I had shared
With my angel
Would never
Be heard again.
Zen masters forgot to read
As much as they strive to be bodies at rest
Their essence is not absolute zero
But heat, throbbing, alive
Forever moving towards chaos
How many angels are balanced
Upon the head of that pin?
None, I tell you,
For I once stood there,
For one nanosecond
And witnessed their scramble
To remain stable and sure
In this tilted universe
Without center
Without edges
Without within
Nor inside out.
After I found
The meaning of life
I discovered
God had asked
A trick question.
