Hour Two

 

Magic

 

Did you ever consider

that everything might be random?

 

Or that all you see is part

of a plan?

 

Or that you are one tiny piece

of a gargantuan jig-saw puzzle?

 

Think really hard.

OK – answer fast.

Who are you?

 

The big question

(unless you know something I don’t)

remains unanswered.

 

Where do you find meaning?

Who is calling the shots?

How do you decide anything?

 

We can look for patterns in nature.

Maybe that’s a hint.

 

The strong survive, at least for a while.

Things change.

And just one species alters patterns.

Changes weather – which changes things.

 

The big question…

Is what we do preordained?

Are we supposed to learn enough

to recreate the garden and be stewards

of a new Utopia?

Are we supposed to figure out in our last

gasping breath that we did something wrong?

 

Are we in control?

Or…is a wizard somewhere

waving a wand?

 

And everything we do is dictated…

in this magical life.
