Exploded
Like water falling on solid rock
Life falls on our laps with such force
Sometimes it is the splash that we need
Other times, it is absolutely painful
But it is always wise to let life take its course
Regardless of the pain, be the ground on which life stands
Don't let your expectations and achievements blind you
Life will always hide secrets from you
To protect you and to nourish you
Life gives when the time is right
And takes away at its own timing
Don't judge so that you may not be judged
Just allow the circumstances to wrap around you
Be the rock on which life falls to create mystical experiences
And also be the river on which life flows with amazing ease
Like water, life is a versatile fluid
Drink it, bathe in it and swim in it
Lest you be exploded
Your constructed reality demolished
And your illusions dissolved
Life is sometimes like a hammer
It will crush you if you're too stubborn to listen
Exploded is a poem about the realities of life
It is neither pain nor joy that should define us
It is the Love in our hearts that should stand the test of time
