Epiphany came calling, I was out,

Too busy to receive my inner light;

It certainly will come again, no doubt,

Perhaps that glow will visit me tonight.

Enlightenment knocked on my door one day,

My stereo was turned up far too high;

It rapped again, then sadly walked away,

Who needs it? I’m a well-off, new-age guy.

The answers of the universe were there,

Forgiveness for the countless times I’ve sinned;

I ran past in a hurry, didn’t care,

Solutions blew away in swirling wind.

My deadlines meant I had no time to think,

Or ponder on my future here on Earth;

I climbed the ladder, had no time to blink,

A man is judged by how much he is worth.

One day will come a light not seen before,

To draw me in, and introduce my fate;

I’ll stand there, lowered head, at Heaven’s door,

I’ll know the answers – sadly, far too late.
