Some Happy Song

Lust and wisdom are strange bedfellows, strange enough
to call into question the meaning of wisdom, the purpose
of thinking. But maybe they can live together
in some kind of harmony. There is a time to think
and a time to feel, a time to give and a time
to believe. The world is a curious place, full
of oppositions, the wonder that comes from the stars
and the wrath of the earth. I want all of it,
blended in some happy song harmonious, well-tuned
even when apparently dissonant.
