Taya Malakian - The chase

The mind wants so badly
to understand
this mystery.
Each person on your path
holds a clue.
Each quiet moment
offers the chance of insight.
The mind tries
to weave them together
in some form
that make sense to it,
But
this world
is not meant
for sense
and understanding.
This world is meant
for wonder and awe.
As soon as the mind
picks up the trail-
the Universe changes
course or climbs
up and out of reach.
But
as soon
as you sit still
and open
your heart with each breath,
the Universe
can no longer resist you
and surrounds
you with its infinite embrace.
