Do you know? I don't think so, But I dunno. You know? Life's an enigma - And everything in it. I'd try to understand, But I can't pin it Down. Experts abound. They're all around. I hear their sound. They're so profound - Like my leaf blower ...except funnier. I solemnly pray There won't come the day When I can say I understand ...Life... Why solve it? Evolve it! Spin it! I'm glad you're In it! Life - Sometimes it's joyful. Sometimes it's tragic. But it's always Magic. Life's a mystery As far as I can see. To be or not to be? Come and see me Sometime. I don't want to understand. I just want to hold your hand, Listen to the band, And feel the Magic.

Thanks Deb - really glad you liked this one - gives me confidence in stepping out of a structure I know, into something freer.
