Unpredictable

Unpredictable, yet wonderful
is the swinging grandeur of life
ecstatic in her own majestic play
dancing mysteriously and luring
with inexplicable melodies, that

cajole, seduce, entice, mystify,
enthrall, captivate, mesmerize,
tempt, coax, coerce, deceive,
embrace, accept, resist, reject,
form, sustain and destroy;

creating a complex engaging riddle,
to ensure that man, ad infinitum,
bewildered and overwhelmed,
continues to explore her infinite lore
by being a seeker forever …
