The birds are singing,
the trees are dancing,
the earth is circling the sun.
The moon she waxes and she wanes
a beacon of a flower, torch light in night skies.

Sunsets colourfully kiss floating clouds
Each sunrise greets each day
Our life so precious, all around, beckoning
loving attention
Longing our caring embrace ...

Yet we live mostly with eyes wide shut.
Sheltered by our mind.
Our minds so programmed with over-stimulation of
the technological kind.

Of interest is that life so removed
From the beauty of living.
We look, we stop, we care to listen
To things so altered from reality,
harming reason, feeling, senses.
Leading us from ourselves
Away from the beauty of everything
Of touch so delicate
Mind refined

If only we would
Stop, look, listen
To our life that’s living.
Sensitive, awake
Ready…… to be
Aware to care
About this great universe where we’re living
Give time, give love,
Give the heart and have the mind
To stop, look, listen
Develop a mind refined!
