Le Voyage Magnifique

Life's Mysteries

In search of answers to life's mysteries,
we look for wisdom written in night sky,
rummaging through celestial galleries

and listening to woodland melodies
along the country roads in late July,
in search of answers to life's mysteries.

We wander Main streets lined with dogwood trees
and hope to gain a bit of knowledge by
rummaging through celestial galleries.

We try to weave poetic tapestries
and comprehend the many reasons why
in search of answers to life's mysteries.

Disturbed by some oppressive memories,
we forgive the past and bid that pain goodbye,
rummaging through celestial galleries.

Above all else, we pray upon our knees
and ask our Lord for guidance from on high
in search of answers to life's mysteries,
rummaging through celestial galleries.
