It is what it is...

It is nonsense, says reason
It is what it is, says love

It is unhappiness, says reflection
It is nothing but pain, says fear
it is hopeless, says insight
it is what it is, says love

It is ridiculous, says pride
It is frivolous, says caution
It is impossible, says experience
It is what it is, says love

It is OK, says trust
It is here, says surprise
It is wonderful, says joy
It is what it is, says love

It is now, says grace
It is perfect, says poise
It is indescribable, says rapture
It is what it is, says love

This is nonsense, smiles reason
This is it, smiles love.
