The Light

In the busy world, let us focus on the light There will always be things to do, on that we can rely Boxes unpacked, diploma earned and children grown up At each day's end, our mind turns to something new Let us focus on the beauty and the light Let us look for the good in the world and one another Let us remember that regardless of circumstance, status, worldly matters and labels We are equal We are birthed from the same earth as the trees The stars gave birth to all things I do not pretend to know how, we know little Let us do what we know to be good Let us focus on the beauty and the light Let us look for the good in one another Let us remember that regardless of circumstance, status, worldly matters and labels We are equal Listen to the birds when they speak Their messages are often unheard calls to prayer Let us focus on the beauty and the light Let us look for the good in the world and one another Let us remember that regardless of circumstance, status, worldly matters and labels We are equal The light The light The light The light Imagine. Pause. Breathe. Sigh. Smile. Exhale Imagine. Pause. Breathe. Sigh. Smile. Exhale
