Our Eyes

You are walking around with eyes wide open but they don't see

The colours and beauty are screaming to be noticed

Your head is in the clouds or deep in the earth

Just walking past the gifts that nature is so kindly offering freely,

You have gotten distracted with life and your inner thoughts

Forgotten to play and explore all the things that light you up

When did this happen?

Just slowly one hour at a time of distraction

And by letting society fill you up with what they think

But who are THEY?

What do they think or want or push on you?

Have you ever considered these questions?

Living a life to please, attain or live up to

Some imaginary standard of someone we haven't met

What makes you happy or lights you up?

Those are the important thoughts and inner knowings

The ones we need to desperately get back to,

The feelings that make you know you are alive

That you are living your best life and sharing your gifts

The life that if tomorrow never came you would have peace

Knowing that you were authentically you

That your focus was on living your best life

And embracing the gifts you were born to embrace and share

Knowing that you had brightened the world

By living in tune to your intuition and the universe

That you had not wasted days on pleasing others

But rather invited others to celebrate life with you

Thank you for being YOU!
