We could learn so much from children, their love, their curiosity, their bewilderment, their optimism, their joy for the smallest things, their innate kindness, their natural ability to forgive and move on, and their resilience and miraculous way they bounce back after a fall, a fight or a cry
In times of great upheaval and when darkness prevails, it is the remembrance of what is important that will keep us going.
Hope thrives by sustaining and fostering our humanity, amidst the gloomy hours of turbulence and anguish.
The other day
I looked into your eyes
I saw Heaven
My heart giggled
Fluttered its wings
and flew away
Looking above, I saw my heart growing
Growing . . . growing
Filling up . . . Overflowing
Pouring out love
Embracing All
Engulfed in euphoria
Trees swayed in jubilation
Mountains imbibed within
Meadows twirled in elation
Sand trembled of devotion
Beautiful grins bounced around
* * *
Dolphins raced butterflies
Creeks jumped into River and rivers dived into the Ocean
Earth splashed its feet in cosmic dust
Supernovas danced while nesting within
Galaxies chased baby stars to heaven
In one eternal moment of singularity
Time and space ran away
Steadfast, my heart remained
Filled with awe my heart contained
All … there … is
Besotted, swept off my feet
I hooped and looped I swirled with joy
In disbelief, I looked down
Is that me?
Shrinking?
.
Petals scattered
A speck of dust . . . faded away
I am gone
