The business of life

Undone
this business of life
this day to day
this thirsting
for more knowledge
for greater understanding
this desire to be loved
and to love
ever more deeply
each action held
up to the light
each thought
each word
under scrutiny
the business of living
of going out into the world
making sense of it
where sense is to be found
nothing complete
all in transit
in transition
everything to play for
still

John Lyons
