I’ve been shushing myself down
Telling myself to quiet down
My anger has been tamed
And my shame overwhelmed
Today I observe my sadness
Of this overall madness
When are we going to see
Who we are in reality?
Monsters of destruction
Not caring for reconstruction
We take restless, we give the less
Not appreciating what is on offer
We blind ourselves with manner
I’m saving myself from this difference
By behaving with indifference
Scared instead of curious, judging the miraculous
And exhaustingly trying to control it
We go through life without seeing it
Seeing what is for what it is
Appreciating the other for its authenticity
Learning its ways out of our conformity
Tangled in making considerations
For the fulfillment of our satisfactions
We miss the time of our life
And forget simply what is life
We are here to appreciate our nature
To create, share and nurture
We are here to play with each other
And be inspired by each other
So where are you?
Are you here with me sharing
Or are you there on your phone escaping?
Are you looking at me in the eyes
Or are you pointing your camera in my eyes?
I am here in front of you and I don’t feel you
You create walls around yourself
Blocking the manifestation of your self
Holding your pieces together in an illusion
Is not a supportive solution
One day you will scatter
And finally discover your center
Your survival will depend on yourself
How you care and listen to your own self
You will find support where you never thought it would be possible
Your eyes are going to open wide and allow the stream of life to flow in
You will suddenly be aware of all there is to be seen
As well as the possibilities of the unseen
We call it consciousness
When the details become unique
And the overall magnifique
We are here to be together
And experience with the other
Drop the screens
Drop the masks
Express your needs and trust the other to hold you.
Quiet down and let the universe come to you
Allow yourself the space to receive
Its gifts and surprises
And believe in the best
For yourself and the rest.
