Waking Up to the Gift of Your Life

I actually was awake until late last night, kept feeling to write a poem. What I love about my own creativity, I actually wrote a long poem, then re-wrote it now. I just change the words as the feeling changes. No two moments are the same and what I find fascinating is the words will be different in a new moment. That is how creative our lives are, literally moment to moment. Just enjoy it and make the most of such an incredible life.

WAKING TO THE GIFT OF YOUR LIFE

I am awake
As the world sleeps,
I feel deeply tired,
Yet the butterflies of joy,
Dance and sing around my flower,
For I am open to the sunshine,
I am alive and free,
To see,
My inner smile,
A radiant sun,
Sending solar flares of excitement,
To warm the solar system of my life,
On a trajectory,
No-one knows.

I have learned to love uncertainty,
I have learned to love that I have enough,
For I am loving my own self determination,
Loving the mystery and the muse,
For life is amusing when you stop to smell the roses,
For every person is a bouquet of possibilities,
Tickling the curiosity of a future,
For the wind softly curls around the leaf of my book,
Flicking pages,
Taking me to new stages,
For the current of life is carrying me,
Home.

I know the magic of surprise,
The delight in new horizons,
I know the truth behind silence,
That there is nothing to fear,
There is nothing to hide,
When life is celebration,
When life is opportunity,
How can one keep one’s light under a bushel,
When this moment in time is so short,
And I am here to invite you,
To give this light to you,
for free-dom.

Yet I see some on the treadmill,
They are working 9-5,
Indeed 9-9,
Many feel it is endless pressure,
Endless hours,
Where they arrive,
To leave,
On time.

Yet this life is not a job description,
It is the essence of freedom,
For you can always choose,
And indeed you do,
For there are the few,
Who see the game of life,
Who play with frivolity,
Who thirst for challenge,
As creativity weaves its unknown threads,
Into a future,
For we are all interconnected.

Remember this is a never ending story,
The universe is vast,
Make each moment last,
Each thought your first,
For we create with our intentions,
We are at cause of our life,
We are never victims of circumstance,
Although at times that can seem true,
Yet know you are the beauty,
You are the decider,
For you frame the picture,
You write the words to your script,
And this is the eclipse,
That can cover the sun,
Or reveal the brightness,
And that is the gift of life,
Given to you.
