Just Be

Where is the path

when life sings it's eternal song

in the stilled beauty of now

Losing the self

to find that nothing was lost

the petal falls from the rose

and the stem is bare

blowing in the spring breeze

all has turned to dust

and blown away

Leaving life

so very beautiful

What is taken but the false

dancing

dancing

love bursts

and a million seeds are scattered

like stars in the night sky

life is what it is

nothing else

it is itself

dancing

in beauty and joy

Living truth

loving moments

bursting in delight

like the song of the bird on the budding branch

like the young one that comes close to it's mother

like the joy of a gift received

like the new snow fresh and silent

like the greeting of a passerby

like the understanding that flows without words

like the wondrous growth of a child

like the sparkle in the eye of all that pass

like the open meadow ripe with new life

like the pond reflecting the comings and goings

like the bright pink boots the child runs in

and her curls bouncing in the sun

so young

so new

Nature is wondrous

cleaning out the old and making way for the new

and the little things that cling

love washes over and over and over

eventually they will lose their grip

nature works to refresh

why hold on?

there is nothing to know

there is nothing that breaks

or falls

there is nothing to catch

or lose

love life and live

Just Be
