Sitting, breathing
dreaming
tossing and turning
walking, running, moving through the world
what arises
from the deepest recesses
of your mind
your heart
what songs
melodies pure
ripple from your memories
what feelings
soaring through your heart
to land in your fingertips
reaching out to touch
the world
what arises
from within
that feeds your soul
the waters running clear
the nutrients
compost
fertilizing
your walking, talking, living self
in moments of quiet
do you hear music
see paintings
feel the story
building, growing, weaving
society’s ills
addressing solutions
steps to make the world
the people
better
for each step
each word
each day
watching what arises
from inside
what is true
for you
honor it
speak it
own it
in this world
where so much is light
casual
meant to entertain
be used
discarded
hold tight to the gems
the crystalline moments
that arise from within
and use them
to go out
into the world
bright
sunny
ready for
what arises
from within.
