You Are Alive!

 You’ve chased the moon.

You’ve lived in your dream house.

You’ve travelled the world.

And lived a life of success,

but, deep down,

you know these are not the answers.

None of them can make you smile,

and make you feel alive,

Until you discovered the food for your soul.

You feed yourself with live spring deep down from your core.

You bask yourself under the life-giving sun.

You soak yourself in the rain.

and join the chorus of the wind.

You dance in the wild,

and listen to the whisper of trees,

And then, suddenly, you feel alive again.

Smiles resurface in your face,

and worries and fears are fading!

 

You feel grateful and blissful.

You are finally alive again!
