Universe Promises by Doe Paoro

UNIVERSE PROMISES

Don’t ask a rose what it is
Don’t ask the road how long it goes
How many miles are we from home?
How should I know

When is a joke supposed to land?
Is it a good deed, if it’s planned?
How many out there, all alone?
Maybe it’s all of us, on our own

I reject your hypothesis
because I know what the universe promises:

Good things will come, when you’re not looking for them
And where we end up, it’s unavoidable
Good things will come, if you’d only trust

Oh, it’s a misery to take a bad dream and start fulfilling it
It’s not a mystery that when you name something, you’re killing it

And all that I want is, all of what the universe promises
Good things will come, when you’re not looking for them
And where we end up, it’s unavoidable
Good things will come, if you’d only trust
