Why do we find it so hard to be kind?
To ourselves and to others of like mind
Are we internally and externally blind?
Do we have our priorities and values in a bind?
Or do we simply lack the capacity to unwind
From our ancestral hard wiring and daily grind?
Are we worried about what we might find…
When we slow down enough to rewind
To see how far we’ve come and what we can leave behind
We no longer need to live our lives confined
by definitions created in a fear filled and fueled state of mind
They are not only outdated -they are misaligned
I am Inclined
To say We must dare to live unrefined
If we are going to find real peace of mind
Not every choice is well defined
We can’t simply choose what is underlined
Not everything needs to become streamlined
That was not the intention when we were designed
We are a beautiful creation-that cannot be undermined
We are not separate-we are all intertwined
This is a truth that I will remind
Us all…always.
Oft opined.
-as I write this piece reclined
In my bed…I still need to remind
Myself that I am not lazy.
I am simply designed
To ponder deeply – find words that are aligned
I wont be fined
Or be left behind
If I dare to find
my own piece of mind
with a shared experience of all human kind
I leave this piece unsigned
