A work of Art

A work of Art
 
Existence was created (per Meher)
by a Whim of God.  It is a work of Art.
 
It’s only purpose or meaning
is what we assign to it. 
 
Ages ago, a crowd began to stir
and tumbled from the frame
 
to stand apart from God’s Art –
to witness, study, admire, critique.
 
God has no purpose, said Meher Baba.
Humanity has only one purpose –
 
to become as purposeless
as the Whim Itself.
 
O child, accept what is right before your eyes –
a whimsical, dramatic, God-created work of Art.
