softly

life is full of miracles i say...of life, of breath, of joy...
life is full of miracles and pain and laughter, yet it`s so easy to forget...
to forget joy, to forget laughter, to forget pain...to forget living
one needs a strong reminder that life is more precious than all the diamonds in the world put together

a reminder of life while living...how funny is that,
a reminder of joy while laughing...do we need that ?
a reminder of pain while hurting,
a reminder of art while creating...

so what is life like if we need a reminder for living,
is it empty of essence or do we have too
many things to think about in our days?

maybe too much indeed, no time to breathe and smile at each other;
no time to look at the sun and give thanks to its marvelous light;
no time to acknowledge all our sisters and brothers
and appreciate life in its simplicity and beauty

is it others who determine how we`ll co-create reality
and do we have to be in such a hurry to live,
while missing the essence of life itself ?

can we wake up from this nightmare of a life and softly touch each other?
softly touch each other...
softly...with love
softly walk, gently talk, easily breathe and live...softly
